How to Swim
But swimming, like loving, is not just about knowing.
It's about trusting the body more than the waves of the mind.
Love Is Me
“I’ve never really been able to define love or explain love or experience a love that didn’t hurt.”
protegiéndome
"i value time off—and self-love
and what comes along with peace
such as breathing through the clear breeze
sometimes forgetting about my oxygen-thief"
Surrender to the Shadows
"The mixture of light and darkness gives her silhouette an angelic appearance"
We all need something to believe in.
An observation of faith and embodiment of my ancestors.
A Woman's Heart
"The mirror of truth, / the shame and pain of emptiness, / of lack, / of defeat."
Love Song in the Breeze
“When the snow falls and the thunder rumbles, do you listen for the stories that they tell?”
After Birth
“So I decided to give my attitude a switch, / Look at myself every day and give that girl a kiss; / No more over-analyzing the tiny flawed bits, / I’m reminding myself that I’m still the shit!”
"I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay."
