“am i safe here, am i seen here, can i breathe here,
do i bloom here, can i grow here, can i glow here,
do i feel free here, does my pulse stir and my heart
beat here, can i trust this, is there truth here,
is it beautiful here… do i feel beautiful here,
and not just do i feel loved here…
but do i get to love me here.

out of all the questions i have with someone…
i think the ones that ask, “what does it feel like here?”
are my most important ones.”

“love shouldn't feel like a choice between being loved or loving yourself… it should be where both things collide.⁣”

“Wildfire Heart…

i think it’s breathtaking…
how your heart just spills out of you.
it's some kind of soul ache just… pouring. out.
it's somewhere dark that
your spirit has had to fight from…
but beautiful things spill out of you
the way wildfires burn… the way
butterflies fly wild… the way fireflies glow…
the way it all spills out of you
is just… breathtaking.”
― butterflies rising, she's flowers and fire
