Stormweaver


Athens, Greece

Dark clouds rumble in the distant sky
Whispering tales of the places it has seen
When the sky goes dark, I think of you
(.. and then the storm begins)

The Only Person Stopping You Is You.

If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.


You're allowed to leave any story you don't find yourself in
You're allowed to leave any story you don't love yourself in


You're allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your lights instead of making you shine brighter, you're allowed to pack your bags and start over somewhere and redefine the meaning of your life.

You're allowed to quit the job you hate, even when the world warns you against it.

You're allowed to leave someone you love if they're treating you poorly.
You're allowed to put yourself first if you're settling and you're allowed to walk away when you have tried over and over again and nothing has changed.

You're allowed to let toxic friends go and you're allowed to surround yourself with love and people who nurture you.


You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and 
you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, 
you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see.

You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations.

We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people.

Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption.

You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy.

You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself.

The Ending Without An Ending




you and me
and never us
a complicated series of
almost interactions

The Worst Thing You Could Ever Say



I believe there is nothing quite so important than 
emptying your heart every single day and 
leaving nothing undone, 
no declarations of it unsaid.
The worst thing you could ever say
is not saying a word.

RIP undone decisions and unsaid words


Situationship



I miss you
in the tiniest moments
through random minutes
between the seconds.
and  of all the ways I could relay this,
texting is the least spirited
and words fall short, lost in translation.
Technology: so fucking limited
