• Rain

  I stood in the rain,Partly to feel it land on my face,But mostly so that it could hide my tears,It has all felt so overwhelming lately,Needless emotions of sadness wash over me like a wave,Filling me with the narrative that I am unimportant,The silence in the room and the void of notifications on my phone,Ring…

• Good Hands

  I think about you and the sides of my eyes crinkle as I smile,Your name flashes up on my phone and instantly my heart rate increases. I am in good hands, Steady and safe,I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel it in my gut,Be it the ways in which you give me…

• My Irrational Thoughts

  I’ve begun to recognize a pattern within myself, and despite being able to know that it’s not stemming from actual reality, what I have found is that’s it’s harder and harder for me to stop my mind from spiraling.

• I Settled

  I realized the other day,That I settled for people who didn’t truly love me,I bore myself, Ripped wide open with the blind belief that love would see me through, Only to be left shattered and broken,I settled for charlatans, Men who were unwilling to truly share all parts of themselves,I pushed aside my doubts, Took…

• Is There Such A Thing As A Love Narcissist?

  I’ve been thinking a lot about love and dating and all of its complexities, and it got me thinking about the attention it can garner and whether you can get hooked on the “love bombing”, but not actually be seeking a genuine connection. See what I mean in this week’s post. Is there such a…

• Overcompensating As A Mother…

  With this year’s Mother’s Day freshly behind us, it got me thinking about my role as a mother and the ways in which I do not see the weight of the task ahead of me, and the ways in which I feel I am lacking. This week on the blog, I share the ways in…

• Sweater

  I found your sweater, Casually draped over the chair,Its lilac colour instantly catching me eye,Met with an equal amount of disappointment for you that you had mistakenly left it behind,But also with joy, because I knew I would slip it on,I dive my face into the fabric and take in your scent,Your body was up…
