Ordinary

daydreaming is the art
of slipping quietly
through the cracks of the ordinary
a soft surrender
against the ticking clock
the mind drifts 
painting sunlight 
on impossible skies
letting clouds speak 
in forgotten languages
somewhere between 
breath and blur
the world loosens its grip
and for a moment
everything that could be
is almost real enough to touch

Seasons change

I miss you
in the quiet moments
no one else can see
folded into morning light
and woven through
the hush between words

the world spins
but I feel your absence 
like a thread
tugging at the edges of my day
fragile yet constant
a quiet ache that never quite fades

I miss you in the way
the light hits the window
the way the air shifts
when the seasons change
and I am reminded
time moves but you still live 
in the corners of my heart

Smile

a smile is a curve
gentle as dawn’s first light
silent as a whisper
yet loud enough
to stir the heart
it doesn’t ask for anything
yet gives without measure
a flicker of warmth
in the coldest of moments
a bridge between souls
a quiet conversation
with no words
sometimes
it’s all we need
to breathe again
to feel less alone
and to remember
we are all here together
in this brief shared moment


Awaken

* Picture is my own *

morning gathers gently
on the curve of white petals
dew clings like secrets
whispered in the hush of dawn

each droplet holds the sky
a fragile universe 
dissolving in the sun
yet for this moment
it belongs only to the petal
to the hush of early light
to the beauty that asks for nothing
but to be seen

Living Unapologetic

There is a quiet revolution blooming, not in the streets, but in the mirror. It whispers you are enough before the world has a chance to argue.

Body positivity is not just a movement; it is a soft rebellion. It is choosing to love the curves, the scars, and the stretch of skin that tells our stories in invisible ink. It is reminding ourselves that worth has never been defined by a number, a filter, or someone else’s gaze.

There is poetry in every body. In the way a belly rises with breath. In the sway of hips that move like rivers shaping stone. In freckles that scatter across skin like constellations. Our bodies are not here to be hidden or diminished. They are here to live, to feel, to take up space, gracefully, loudly, unapologetically.

So wear the crop top. Dance without shrinking. Smile with your whole face, flaws, and all. This body has carried you through storms and sunrises, through heartbreaks and healings. It is the archive of every laugh, every tear, every step that brought you here. To honor your body is to honor your life.

And maybe the greatest act of love we can offer ourselves is not to be perfect, but to accept, to stand in the truth that we have always been enough.

Chasing time

time is a paradox
it feels both endless and fleeting 
a measure we rely on 
to structure our lives 
yet it slips away the moment 
we try to grasp it
it’s only when we look back 
that we see how little control 
we truly have over it
how moments stretch into years
and years collapse into seconds 
time it seems 
is less about counting the ticks
and more about how we choose 
to live between them


Awakening

if we knew the chapters 
in our lives would end
would we mark the margins 
with our fingertips
tracing the moments 
we thought were endless
would we read with less haste
feeling the weight 
of each word as it came
would we cherish the ordinary
those quiet scenes we often skim
knowing they would one day close
perhaps we’d savor the silence 
between the sentences
the space that carries 
everything unsaid
in knowing would we 
stop rushing toward the next
and instead let each chapter 
unfold at its own pace
would we find peace 
in the endings
recognizing that each one 
is a doorway
and every close is not an end
but the start of something 
we may never fully understand

Piece by piece

tears are the language of the heart
silent words that speak 
when nothing else can
they fall like rain
softly erasing the edges of pain
leaving behind a quiet space 
where healing begins
each drop carries a story
a moment too heavy 
for the soul to hold
they erase the bitterness of grief
transforming sorrow
into something quieter
something we can carry
piece by piece
and though they blur the world 
for a moment
they also clear a path
where the heart can start again
learning to breathe 
with a little less weight


15 years

Fifteen years. It feels surreal even typing that.

When I first hit “publish” on this blog, I had no idea where it would take me. Back then, blogging was still finding its voice, and so was I. What started as a small digital space to share thoughts and snippets of life has now grown into something much deeper: a record of my evolution, a community of like-minded souls, and a creative outlet that has weathered every season of life.

Over the years, this blog has been through many phases, much like me. I’ve written about everything from love and life to grief and loss, sharing the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

There were times when the words flowed easily and times when I wondered if I had anything left to say. But here we are, still showing up. Still writing.

To every reader who has stopped by, left a comment, shared a post, or just quietly read along, thank you. Your presence has made this space feel alive and worth returning to again and again.

So, what’s next? Honestly? I’m not sure. But I know this: as long as I have words to share, this space will be here. It may change and evolve (like all good things do), but the heart of it remains the same.

Here’s to the next chapter, and to everyone who’s been part of the story so far. 

Much love,
Jennifer ❤️
