A Love Letter, Unsent
I tend to experience very high highs and very low lows. So on days like today, when I am even keeled and everything‘s fine, I ask myself what brings me here. Perhaps it’s the thought of us wading in tall grass, barefoot and blossoming with the lilies. Me grabbing your hand as the sky dimsContinue reading “A Love Letter, Unsent”
Confessions of a Fire Sign
As a Leo, I’m told I’m a fire sign. Most of the time that feels like a miscalculation, at best. At worst, it’s an inside joke I’m not a part of. I can be particularly timid and likely wouldn’t speak up if you chopped off my arms. I often read confidence as arrogance and self-prioritizationContinue reading “Confessions of a Fire Sign”
The Top of the Stack
It’s been a while since I posted a poem on the blog! I wanted to share one that I’ve been holding onto for a little while and incidentally titled it today.
My Body is a Temple BUT…
In today’s video, we discuss the confusing intersection between health and spirituality. Everyone has their own opinions and that can make it all the more difficult to decipher the path that is best for each of us. But I’m interested in what you guys have learned throughout your journeys. How do you balance the differentContinue reading “My Body is a Temple BUT…”
Let’s Discuss: Is Destiny Fixed?
Is destiny fixed? This common philosophical question popped into my head last night and it won’t leave me alone. I was watching Astral Journey on HBO Max, a Portuguese-language show that dedicates each episode to a different sun sign (Leo, Virgo, Libra…etc.). For each episode, two guests come on and explain how their astrology hasContinue reading “Let’s Discuss: Is Destiny Fixed?”
Review: Luster by Raven Leilani!
Hey everyone! I hope the audio is better on this video! I’m so excited to share this book review with you. An incredible read with so much up for discussion. Luster provides nuanced takes on identity, romance, and race relations. So tell me…what do you think of this one?
Plans for 2022 and Unraveling Negativity!
January has always had a sort of romantic quality. It’s just the idea of a new beginning, all the potentialities and plans unfurling in my head. In the past, this joy was short-lived because I would get so excited about these new ventures that, by the time I got to the execution phase, I’d overthoughtContinue reading “Plans for 2022 and Unraveling Negativity!”
Doing What Feels Right and Radical Self Trust
Hey everyone, I know it’s been a little bit since I posted on here. But I am very active over on TikTok and Instagram if you want to take a look over there! Self-promotion aside, I want to revisit a topic that I’ve touched on in previous posts, such as “Taking Control Can Be Messy”Continue reading “Doing What Feels Right and Radical Self Trust”
Citrus (A Poem)
The line went dead a long time ago. Disassociation central, and it shouldn’t scare you anymore. God knows I’m passed the point of worry. As I’ve always said, there is something beautiful in death, it’s poetic or sublime. Somewhere along the way his soul froze, buried in piles of snow. But look how it glistensContinue reading “Citrus (A Poem)”
A Sneaking Rage
I lay on the splintering wood. Weezer’s “California Kids” rattles through the back of my mind like a muddled memory. The smell of freshly-cut grass fills the air…Remember your breathing!… No need to be angry. Nothing is wrong. Still, the rage pools in the center of my brow, its acid dripping down to my lipsContinue reading “A Sneaking Rage”
Let’s Do Some Grounding Together!
Okay, you caught me! While this may be a repost from my Tiktok, I wanted to share it here because I feel like a little grounding can always be helpful. Just know I love you all so much and thank you for all the support you’ve shown me thus far. I promise to have moreContinue reading “Let’s Do Some Grounding Together!”
