People always told me in no uncertain terms:

Anyone that gets to know you

Will love you

For the rest of their lives.

Lucky I got to do the same

('Such stars to be born under!'

I sighed to the sliver-moon most nights

and she nodded,

'Yes, yes.')

It was like standing in sea waves under the sun

and I wanted to tell you all the time:

With a tar-filled mouth

That mired steps and envied

microphones;

With aching, shaking hands that stumbled across keys,

and fumbled everything else...

Once upon a time, some boys approached me to

Inspect my necklace and

Everyone said it would go like this when

My spirit recognized you a long time ago,

and said,

"O' I see you..."

Aw, I love this stuff; thanks for thinking of me! 🌻🥰 5 Happy Things:

5. My soon-to-be-husband 😍

4. The fact that at last, I have my own home 🏡

3. My engagement ring 💍

2. Burt’s Bees pumpkin spice chapstick 🎃

Ooh, yay, hi!

🌪 What music do I normally listen to: I'd have to say a lot of different pop genres, at least that's what my Spotify said this year. My taste is all over the place cause I'll just love a handful of songs by an artist or band here and there. I know I'll always go back to Lorde and Bastille; Pure Heroine and Bad Blood got me through highschool.

💜 What is your favorite smell: Amber or bergamot, and this organic cologne oil my boyfriend wears mixed with his aftershave. Makes me feel safe and warm and happy.

🌳 What's something you're proud of: I'm proud that after 21 years of believing a Narcissistic narrative about myself and my mom, I was able to look my narc in the face and say, "That's not what I remember," until they screamed at me to leave, releasing me of any further responsibility to maintain a relationship with them. Since then, I've maintained one of the most difficult jobs for an introvert (hospitality industry) for almost a full year, begun to allow my true self to blossom, entered the most healthy relationship I've ever been in, and rented an apartment with my mom. I always believed his lies that I wouldn't make it on my own, but look at me now. I'm making progress, in spite of the aftereffects of my childhood. 🌱
