we are always afraid to lose someone we love, but why are we willing to lose ourselves in loving someone else?

alive is enough

—

assorted thoughts I found

tucked in the attic

it brought me back like an elastic

sometimes

we give up on the wonder

and that can pull us under.

It’s this constant reminder that

we might be

worthless

and it makes it hard

to keep your head

above the surface

I don't want to grow a thick skin. I want my skin to stay as thin as it was made and everything outside of that to be softer.

Everytime you wake

Everytime you sleep

Each time you take a step back

And breathe

When you can feel your own body

When you finally let go in the dance

When meditation hypnotises you

When you are maha-mantra entranced

Laughter and merry sounds

Nature, feet on the ground

Fun, bliss and reverie

That is receptivity

That is when you divinely receive

You call it 'Source'

But we call it 'WE'

Us looking through your eyes

Seeing as we see

You hearing us

Listening to life as you

And when your heart feels the thrill, contentedness, satisfaction or enchantment

Of our unified pleasure

You have finally turned the volume down

On all the thinking that misaligns our neverending symphonics

For the presence of Our Love

Is never silent.

~ Chantal Eva

feel

allow yourself to feel

be obsessed with your best friends

love so much you forget who you've been before

cry the entire night about this one little, not so little thing which went wrong

celebrate for days when you achieve a little success

just simply feel, feel your emotions

feel yourself, feel how you've been changing

because in the end all we've got are those. Those emotions who are turning our grey life into some color. So let those colors be bright

I hate that I have to heal from things that are not my fault.

Don‘t wait for the right moment, create it.

Prose by Me ZNT

We often think possessing someone is wrong

Is it so wrong when we are given permission?

Granted entry into the heart and mind

A chamber that is not yours but all mine cozy inside the warmth of your soul

Love as much, as it yours, is all mine to devour nibble by nibble

Delicious is the scent

Bittersweet is the taste

The ideas of ownership are many

Antiquated

Tainted

Taboo

Misinformed

Capture this minute intersection

Happiness

Indescribable

Bound by rope

Conjured by sweat and tears

Sealed by the ritual of sound

Faint pleas

Willing adhere to

Provocation is met

The desired to be engrossed is mutuality

It is the Reality

living your affirmations: irl🪷

✨You ever just realize you’re literally living out your affirmations???

Like, Oh! I was asking for peace and an abundance of joy, and I am now receiving it? Like fr?? 😳

I recently realized that I’ve been through… a/thee portal…? (I’m still learning ofc)

I always see people asking others online when did they know their manifesting was “working”? I of course wondered the same.

On Tuesday August 13th 2024, I was in a great mood, per usual with the help of mindful thinking 😉. When something just came over me to go get my lotus flower tattoo. Spur of the moment vibes🪷

“A lotus flower” has sat on my tattoo list, made in 2021, in the notes app since last December.

I just felt a shift and knew it was time.

It’s time to let go of depressing jobs, toxic people, unhealthy ways of thinking, and bad habits. Finally end the meaninglessness craving of wanting people to change. When they physically can’t or literally won’t!! Mommy issues 😅

So I went and got one. Now, I’m not a rookie or anything lol. I have 20+ tattoos now at 24 starting at 18.

But, every single one of my tattoos has been planned out by an overthinking & over planning mess. Who’s definitely on the spectrum 🫣 and has always been like this naturally, up until recently.

Me.

Ever since Tuesday, The Devine just repeatedly has shown me that I HAVE to listen.✨

we are simply the universe interacting with itself, a tentative touch, a shared breath.

and we must be tender with each other, for we are fragile

and we are real,

and you are real.

and you know yourself best, so you should know best that you are deserving of joy and every delicate softness that you stop to rub your cheek against, to feel that conjoining of two forgiving things.

to know that you can love, wanton and gorgeous, sunlit smile touched by every person who has treated you with care,

and possibly treat someone else with care, too.

you can have everything you want, dear

you only have to know that you deserve it

you only have to forgive yourself

dread has no place in our ecosystem, in our tangled, finite hearts

we are the universe, of the same stardust sprinkled onto fertile soil

we are the universe, nursed and nurtured into our positions

we are the universe, laid gently to rest when we are done

we are the universe, and we can help make it a little more bearable before we take our final bow.

don’t go chasing the rest, darling, because you can care without reciprocation

you can simply love

and it is a vulnerability, yes, but not a weakness

it is not a weakness.

thankful for the one who left me – you leaving me sparked a vision of myself that would be never able to breathe in your existence.
