what iβm made up of
stardust / glitter pens i will never use / journals i will fill only with empty promises / coming up with my own constellations while counting the stars / tear stained pillows / silent conversations with the tea leaves at the bottom of my cup / summer sunlight filtering through leaves / leaving fear at the doorstep of new beginnings / pressed flowers between old books / obscure words that rewire my brain and keep me curious about the world / iman- having faith when all else seems like itβs falling apart / the viridity of childhood that still lingers in my bones / midnight epiphanies that make me want to upend my life and start anew / living a hundred lifetimes through books / a yearning for traveling the world / making strangers smile / falling in love with a world that doesnβt want you to feel / trying not to fail in a world where the measure of success is higher than the value of happiness / smiling through the pain / laughing about our absurdities, in vain / yearning for peace / not striving for perfection / settling for contempt / learning to forgive / learning to ask for forgiveness / seeking out changing seasons instead of nature bringing them to you at your doorstep / wanting to be better in spite of your flaws / unspoken words / silent conversations / endless stories.
