🏹about me— I am a dreamer, an old soul trapped in a young body. I talk to the stars and send letters to the moon. I miss things I never had, I want to leave for distant lands to never come back. 🦢 here is my nest. 🧾 "...What we have here is a dreamer. Someone completely out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she would fly." — The Virgin Suicides

“This done, I lingered yet a little longer: the flowers smelt so sweet as the dew fell; it was such a pleasant evening, so serene, so warm; the still glowing.”

the ability to see more beauty in the world is a skill. the more beauty you see, the more comes to you, the more you create yourself. so much of the disempowerment people feel is because they are trained to see the ugly and negative in everything. you have to unpick your mind from the lure of negativity and train yourself to find beauty. if you want a beautiful life, it starts with learning to find the beauty everywhere.
