A year changes you a lot. Think back to who you were last June. If you have been working hard and healing, celebrate your progress. The summer solstice is a reset point.

i miss 1994 because i wasn’t alive then
Good times
do you ever get overwhelmed by the amount of history in the world that you don’t know
need to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is made for you. everyone who comes into your life will not be permanent and you can’t spend your time feeling sorry about it, it’s just the way it goes. accept the lessons people teach you and thank the universe for the time you got to spend with them. release negative emotions, wish everyone well and keep your heart open for the next.
i am glorifying my own survival. keeping a journal of the miracles of small victories, praising myself for waking up, for brushing my teeth, for eating breakfast, for showering. i make up romantic notions about myself instead of picking at the loose seams. i write love poems to the person i know i can be.
some days i am painting gold on rot. some days i know i smell of death under the sugar perfume. some days i flicker between a drowning and a circus. but some days, some days. i catch myself in the mirror and i think: i’m so glad we lived to grow up.
