I believe the stars are my mirror Or I'm the mirror for the stars, Either way I believe love is the reason I'm here today Not just romantic love, All the love I believe safety is the most comforting feeling a girl or woman can feel I believe in therapy, massage, talk, IFS, IPT, physical, and WFW I believe in myself...fuckin' finally I believe in trusting myself and self love I believe in nurturing.. Nurturing self, nature, and the human race I believe in boundaries, respecting others' and my own I believe in music and I believe vocal chords are the most beautiful instrument we have Oh! I also swoon over the sound of the saxophone I believe plant medicine heals and allowing ourselves to be held and to hold others heals too I believe in the power of pen to paper and I believe poetry does not have to rhyme in order to flow into my heart space and the heart spaces of others. I believe my inner child is proud and in awe of the woman I am now and the woman I am becoming.

Holding on to pieces of the past as if they're going to help me with my future. Holding on to pieces of the past as if those pieces are safe for me. They are not. The pieces of the past that I was holding onto were dangerous and toxic for me to hold onto. But it was all I knew. So my hands became callused from my tight grip Like a kid holding onto the monkey bars trying to beat their own record. The bell has rung, everyone went back to class, But there's the kid, still holding onto the monkey bars for no other reason than to prove a sense of accomplishment to themselves and then maybe go home and tell her parents who won't care Holding onto pieces of the past even though it hurts to do so? Why? Let go Let go of those pieces Let go of people pleasing and religion Open your hands and your heart And allow yourself to fall into the unknown and the uncomfortable There is safety to be found in the discomfort and in the unknown Whatever you're looking for It's found in letting go What you're looking for is right in front of you but you were looking beyond it What I am looking for is right in front of me But I was looking beyond it I'm no longer holding onto pieces of my past, I'm letting go of all of the pieces They got too heavy for me to carry and they weren't my responsibility to hold in the first place Holding onto pieces of the past is something I did in my past I feel myself shifting and changing and growing The more open I allow myself to be, the more I flow in peace and love.

Keep falling in love with yourself with life Keep falling in love with what lights you up Keep learning about yourself and keep romanticizing what you already know about yourself Keep your eucalyptus oils and favorite perfume stocked and keep your coziest socks clean Keep your space cleansed and your heart open Keep falling in love with self and all the magic and power inside of you Keep going, keep growing, keep creating, keep prioritizing rest, and keep allowing yourself grace, gratitude, joy, and glimmers within each day. Keep hating winter in Utah, if you want... But just keep trying to find all the reason you can love it Keep your eyes peeled and only digest the tea that's meant for you Keep falling in love with you and your life and the humans who feel like home. Keep writing until the music stops and keep recognizing the gifts you've received. Keep an open mind and keep your boundaries. Keep up the good work and keep listening to your body Keep looking for the charger to your favorite toy you lost weeks ago...it exists somewhere, you'll find it. Keep falling in love with being alive The pain, the pleasure, All of it
