The times between dusk and dawn have been lost to me— It seems that the paralysis of fear induced by the dull and dim must have stunned me to sleep. Now in the wake of rising Suns all I can feel is eyes wide and full, Brimming w from the glare on the cusp so many new days.

“I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me, that's everything The mere idea of you The longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go ‘Til I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you My love” ________ Nat has bars.💯 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUZwfUhFCj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o2jnbjvbai2q

To one of my closest and dearest friends, thank you for showing me ur beautiful home. But more than that, thank u for always being here—for taking on my first summer living alone w me and helping me get thru crises both of my own making and simply of real life. Thank u for joining me in the fight for both climate and social justice and reminding me that self-care is a form of resistance, too. For encouraging in all the crazy things I’d possibly want to do, and doing what u can when u can to make them a possibility. For always being there when I need a warm shoulder for crying or a firm hug to remind me that pure Love exists, not only as a miracle but as a necessity of this Life. Thank u for being exactly who u are, w every single ounce of emotion u muster bc that truly is the only superpower that could posssibly change the world and it surely has changed mine. So, thank you. I love u. Can’t wait to be cooking together again when ur state-side 🤪👩🏾‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳💕 _______ A mí amiga más mejor y cariñosa, muchos gracias para me mostrando tu hermosa patria mamá. Hay muchísimos razones porque te quiero, pero lo más importante es tu compasión y tu dedicación de los pasiones y la gente que se viven adentro de tu corazón. Muchos gracias para todos los maneras que me apoyó y que tú lo continúes desde un mundo allá. Y lo más cuando tú crees para mí en los tiempos que yo no piensa que puedo hablar ese lengua que me encanta. ¡Que suerte he tenido para conocerte! En un sueño es posible que yo enseñarte un poquito Quechua cuando tú regresaras pero no lo creo. Jaja, nos miráremos. Te quiero muchísimo, Cami. Muchos gracias.

There are moments when as mortals, we feel like we have communed w gods. Then there are those far more precious when we remember all that is most sacred dwells beneath the clouds and lush canopies and can be sparked in the power between palms alone.

“At last, the skies above are blue— my heart was wrapped up in clover the night I looked at you. ... I found a thrill to press my cheek to— a thrill that I have never known”✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZMNZ0B-hW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17tvtgxuceskr

[insert inappropriate story about my 20th birthday and how much joy all the wonderful pple in my life bring me and how I can’t wait to ring in my new yr w all those beautiful souls once more] ______ Adult skate night had me feeling nostalgic in a lot of really amazing ways, but glad to be taking such a crucial element of my youth and birthing a new talent w one of my favorite pple in the whole world ______ Lmao, is this turning into on of those cheesy optimistic inspired accts or what ?

Well, my friend @nashalie_diazrosa took some beautiful pics of me, and that was really nice. Then I had some lovely roasted grape focaccia bread, and that was really delicious. And just now, I was reminded of a time my mother bought me a whole selection of blossoming flower teas in my youth, which was really wonderous and just made me feel v warm all over again. And rn, I’m mainly just feeling really grateful for Love and kind souls and sunshine and even the grey days that make all this feel that much more sweet. Thank u to whomever and every single one of u that bring that little tickle to the back of my throat that reminds me the best thing Life has to offer is that afterthought of joy that lingers in the wake of all these wonderful gifts I’m given, time and time again. 💕 (at Glorious Life) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzZJR2B44s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1duhqpp4gw3fq

Eagerly awaiting the turn of Autumn, for a chilly refuge and quieter streets🍁✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/BnloHcGBW6i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=je2mrcqfvftg

The richest peace I’ve found yet has been in the stillness between sighs and the warmth of long glances.✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSeQC7holA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g75biwt6kjd3

The imp thing is that we were matching, the tragedy is we couldn’t even get a good pic of the fits. 🤧😪 (at Where The Love Grows) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJZDsIhd84/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ih8wen6rgflf
