I am from the crispy emerald strands that hug my legs undersea. From briny air purifying the aqua skies and surfboards laying underneath sun kissed skin. I am from limitless laughter and a soul of love for true friends, stronger than my beating heart.
I am from the dial inside a booth, as red as the most flawless rose. From words pasted onto sheets, thick and thin, to a name standing in La La Land’s hills. I am from the snap of an aperture, in a place where Angels don’t question why they can see Palm trees’s heads, and in shots of dreamy islands that don’t continue its day without a yellow ray.
I am from day dreams in which I pursue my addiction to adrenaline and positive mind sets, zeroed in on the life awaiting me. From the vibrato that leaves the strings when met with pearly horse hair and my voice when met with an inspiring rush of peacefulness. I am from the strokes of a delicate brush and the lingering fragrance of jasmine I desire to remember in the cold winters.
I am from the elegant petals of an Elie Saab gown and the delights of summer, unexpectedly found in my chestnut colored hair. From my heels I can bear to wear day to sundown and my bare feet kicking back sand at each step. I am from Nannie’s ice cream nights spent in front of a vintage TV and stretching legs and pointing toes during credits, as each note pumps through my veins.
I am from the adventure nature happily grants from its curls in the ocean that greet me first in the morning, it’s tears of invitation to dance, waking from the purr of its creature I’m grateful to have, and exchanging bursts of amusement over the ripples that the underwater world flicks to the shore.
From the ears that will stay to comfort until the hands cease to tick, and regretting nothing. I am from the wonders of life and taking the opportunities to experience each one infinitely.
