Pampering myself is so magical. Pedicures, manicures, face masks, bubble baths, warm drinks, sleeping early, amazing food. I have it all.
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
โ Rumi
welcome to my animal crossing island
I wasn't very kind to myself for a really long time and I'm trying to learn that now. So do what you need to do, and push yourself, but also forgive yourself if you fuck it up, or if you're struggling.
โ Chelsea Wolfe, in an interview with Julian Lara c. Nov. 2019
Suddenly feeling lonely
i am made up of
the galaxies in my hand
and the stars that fell apart
in a desire
to fix someone else's heart.
i am not exactly broken
but what resides in my heart
are the little heartbreaks
that found their escape in metaphors,
they often make the noises
i am tired of hearing
but the world never tried to listen.
each day comes with the new hope
but mine serves as another hammer
to make the cracks in me wider,
yet somehow i manage to hide them
with the little good i receive.
i see all around,
some stranger trips
on the thresholds of the markets
while others on their own decisions,
everyone is carrying
some sort of heaviness
they choose to confine in their bones.
their pain might be bigger or lesser,
but the thing is every pain hurts.
bruises are countable
but the ache isnโt.
every one goes through something or the other,
different storms prevail in different hearts,
yet we assume that the life was biased
to provide just us with the difficulties.
everyone is fighting,
some are healing
while some are still breaking.
but, what matters is
we all are still moving.

A very special thank you to all of you who have followed me and my journey over the years, low key holding me accountable and cheering me on ๐
I started this blog 6 years ago during my undergrad to motivate myself to get into law school and here I am with two law degrees, 6 years later. A long way away from being on academic probation in my second year of undergrad.
Hereโs to considering my SJD until I end up doing it โจ๐พ
