I hope next year is softer. I hope you look close enough to see the brushstrokes. I hope the light is always green. I hope you tell old stories and invent new ones. I hope next year is a warmly lit room, and the room is so tangled with laughter, you can’t tell whose is whose.

it’s getting darker by the day, so collect the light in your pockets like lint. the light on the trees, the light through the blinds, the patches on the floor. how it holds the moon in the sky, turns the water to glitter, turns skin into sunbeams— the light, the light, the light.

love is so small sometimes. sometimes it’s zipping up your dress or handing you lip balm. or whispering to the waiter, it’s their birthday. or tracing circles with their thumb on your hand. love is a blinding screaming supernova, but sometimes it picks an eyelash off your cheek.

all your years wrap one another like rings on a tree. the year you first fell in love wrapped around the year you painted your room blue, around when you learned to swim, and all those wrap the one when your parents first held you and wondered what you would do, who you’d become

sometimes it bursts through all the static like headlights on a foggy morning drive: this is the only life I’ll ever get, on the only planet I’ll ever live to see. I should look at the sky more, I should listen more. I should drink that tangerine soda in my fridge.

there is a witch who can unspool the darkness out of you like tangled yarn, taking those deep blues and purples swirling behind your ribs and painting with them, turning them into something strange and beautiful before returning them to that necessary, sharp place inside you.

they don’t have to memorize the microscopic canyons of your fingerprints or every gold flicker in your irises or every constellation freckling your skin it’s okay if they just listen to you and keep your soul warm and remind you to wear sunscreen

I don’t know how to tell you this but the world is very ugly and you can work your whole life and only turn a small dusty corner of it beautiful. I don’t know how to tell you that it’s probably not worth it. I don’t know how to tell you that you should probably do it anyway.

imagine a space where we can meet without our bones & all the other stuff that weigh us down. a space where the soft clouds of our souls can float, & we say hi for the first time, because all the other times were just practice. the space lit like the melting sun kissing the grass

there is a girl who wishes to fix the broken sky, pin the fallen stars back into place. she opens her hands, but all she has are words. they fall through her fingers like sand. the sky stays broken, the stars grow cold in the dirt. still, she keeps her hands open. just in case.

sometimes it’s ok to stop questioning everything and just chase whatever makes the shimmery gold light bloom inside your chest

did you know sunflowers can remove toxins from the soil where they’re planted. this is not a fairy tale this is just a fact. maybe you can be the sunflower of wherever you’ve been planted. or maybe you can be a spider or a ladybug or a treehouse or a wish. you can be whatever!
