New growth
Here I am. In a place that I dread coming to, in clothes that hide the slump in my spine, with fingers that are bloody, picked apart, and chewed open. Here I am. In a place that I know all too well, a place that used to scare me, and sometimes it still scares me…

48 months
My daughter is turning 4 in three weeks. That’s four years learning each other after 9 months of connection. And that’s four years of unlearning behavior patterns to create new pathways together. It’s been almost 48 months of navigating uncharted territory together in a really overwhelming time for our society. She has no sense of…

Introspection
I recently had a daydream about the experience of meeting myself again. It feels as if I’ve transcended through so many layers of self within the last 5 years without much time pause and regather.

Kindness
I can feel my voice getting louder. Not only with the words that I say to myself but to the words I speak to others.

Exposure
Exposure: To the parts of my body that I wish would change To the toxic thoughts I often experience To the toxic society that implants images and ideas in our minds at such a young age Exposure: To the negativity To the discomfort To the illusion And to the phobias Laying in bed last night,…
