it's march, it's sunny again and i'm remaining open

the setting sun shone in a way that made the light look like it was turned on. it made me smile.

i'm still picking up pieces of myself. i cry on the evenings when london can't stifle your sound. a constant drone, on and on in my head. i thought it would be over by now, come to a close. i'm skimming memory, circling the half forgotten parts of it all. i'm taking a leave of absence, it's hard. i'm young, surrounded by life yet often lonely. i'm still picking up pieces of myself, all while still looking for a place to set them down.

it might be time to spend a year alone; accept that parts of me still hurt, there are corners that are dark and places I cannot yet go to. the pull and allure of a temporary place or person in which I can rest is tempting, ultimately it won't make things better. I want to yearn again, seek out love again, feel ready, again

break the pattern, engage with your intuition, dictate your energy and guide your intentions. the first steps into this year led me here.

pov: you're my phone

my date nailed it

i miss the way summer feels on my body

i got on the overground a few weeks ago and sat in front of arguably the most beautiful boy i have ever seen in my life. i was red with nerves and we made eye contact. i could not stop staring at him. everything about him was hypnotic. i did go up to speak to him just before my stop, but it was so rushed i never got his name. i wish i had stayed to talk to him. now every time i get on the overground i think of that exceptionally beautiful boy and if i will ever see him again.
