This last cycle taught me the difference between wanting anything and wanting what is truly meant for me. Quality over quantity. Depth over distraction. No more reaching just to feel alive, or staying just to avoid the ache of leaving. Solitude became necessary the only doorway back into the real me, the depths most people are terrified to meet. In the quiet, I heard my own voice again: the outsider, the freethinker, the woman who never needed permission to know her truth. My heart speaks for me now. My mind and spirit too. I’m finally listening. Walking away from distraction returned everything I had leaked: my attention, my sovereignty, my erotic self-trust, my freedom, my wholeness. My energy feels different strong, rooted, unmistakable. I feel known, even if not fully seen. I trust myself deeply. I know who and what I am. A new version of me is resurfacing the elder in my spirit, the one who has died and resurrected enough times to know her own magic. The woman who chooses herself first, without guilt, without trembling. Silence has been my healer. The silence between thoughts, the silence in my home, the silence inside my body, the silence in the craters of my heart as they scab. Silence protects. Silence reorganizes. Silence brings me back to life. And now, I’m guarding my heart differently. Every lover has taught me how to hold her better her eagerness, her warmth, her fragility. I’m protecting her from hardening too quickly, from reopening old wounds just to see if the sun still rises. I refuse to go cold. I refuse to let fear kill my softness. I refuse to let the past shrink my ability to be touched, kissed, held, adored, or loved. Devoted to myself and love. Fully. Holy.
I realized, you can’t reach my soul if you’ve never touched your own. I’ve stopped craving to be understood last year I’m a “mystery”, because most people are strangers to themselves. I realized, only those who’ve met their own depths can meet mine. I realized, I’ve been my own muse the whole time. Silly me.
3 white candles. Earthy bath infusing with my elements. A French film, my thoughts. I don’t want to ever give this up again— I won’t, can’t live without it. I’ve created distance between my lovers and myself again; no wonder they don’t believe me. But I mean it this time— I only want myself. I’ve grown warmth. My hollers are a gradient opera. God help me. God leave me alone. I knew it— I knew it. He’ll never leave me alone. How’d he conceived a string out of nothing— nothing.
He said my full name those sound waves honeyed all over my nervous system
My lover sends me music that I replay for weeks because it reflects my soul and makes me cry my thoughts have become so loud i’m yelling back at them out loud and didn’t even notice
Maybe the lesson is to let go the first time How dare he reflect me so left me wide open for the crows to knit and pick at me
