“You began to love all the women inside you and you began to nurse her back into life without apologizing for how she heals herself.”

“And you lifted your head and smiled. And I know people aren’t stars, god I know. But fuck science, fuck logic. You are the brightest goddamn sun I have ever seen.”

Mereba ᵇʸ ᶜʰᵃʳˡᵉˢ⁻ᴱᵈᵒᵘᵃʳᵈ ᴰᵃⁿᵍᵉˡˢᵉʳ

Excerpt: [ “These mirrors know our secrets. They witnessed our wild, our highs spent riding the wind and they watched as all the storms started circling our dunes … Strangers once, turned to strangers again. And if these mirrors could speak.. Their voices just might crack, and shake, and shatter the glass into fragments … Take a piece of my Love, we been through enough stuff, now we need to grow up, and Away.” — Mereba, video for Sandstorm (2019) ]
