On the brink…
I remember waiting for you, Sure that you’d be my saving grace A soul as beautiful as you, How could you not? * Strong as our faith in each other was, Such forces of nature Tell me, what storm could stand against, between, even with no man for us? * Timeless beauty, Independence, Such a […]

self-care: Boundaries
And at the end of the day, When you have decided to cut ties with all that seems to continuously demoralise you and hurt you, the only demon left to conquer will be yourself. I’ve come to notice that when it has been a terribly difficult time for me to encounter fellow beings, my […]

self-care
