Taking a break from posting poetry for a few days. Sorry for anyone who has been following me mostly for that lately. We’ll get back to that next week.

I don't know if you're the same person leaving these or you're all different, but it is SO nice and SO sweet. l often think my poetry is very safe and cliche and simple. I always feel a little invisible in my real life, so this means more than you probably think it does.

Thank you for saying that. I always hope my writing speaks to other people (even across oceans). That you feel seen and heard and have a voice. But I also like to treat others how I like to be treated. Don't you forget your light either. l can see it from here.

This has thankfully happened few and far between (for me). 😅😅😅
I would love to talk to you and get to know you more personally if you wish to know me personally outside of the content I post. But please do not send me unsolicited spicy pics or ask for them in return.

I love learning about people. Hearing their stories and pasts, how their experiences have shaped them, how they live their life and see the world. People can’t be replicated and they’re irreplaceable. We’re all so different and unique. Flawed, but beautiful.

1. I am convinced some of you (or just one if it’s all the same person) is trolling me (jokingly, not in a mean way). But prove me wrong if I am. I dare you. 🤣
2. Yes! Been all over Italy, Aruba, Dominican Republic, etc. Would love to see more of Italy, Greece, etc. Love visiting historical places.

1. That sounds lovely… and peaceful. I’d really love that. Sounds like we might be endgame.
2. You’re hired! No interview necessary. You can start whenever. Just absolutely NO glitter. Not at all. It’ll trigger my OCD. Otherwise you’ll be both my sadness exterminator and my OCD trauma specialist.

What a question. My god.
While I would love to answer you, do you need help? Why the bruised knees? Are you okay? Who hurt you? Who do I have to hurt for you? Why me? Should I call someone? I am very concerned.

1. Thank you 🥹🥹🥹 I needed that.
