01
In rubbles
We still wander.
Barefoot–
Searching for the sound of each other.
My heart still sings,
Old songs that last.
Reminded–
Of the faraway past.
To feel once more,
I pave a path.
Decided–
I'm no longer glass.
02
Her heart could no longer hold the truth.
At the top of the tower,
The girl stayed put.
It crumbled slow, leaving cracks on the walls.
At the top of the tower,
The girl stayed put.
For going down would admit defeat,
She held her head high,
As she fell with it deep.
She could not escape,
The drowning of ground.
There's no going back.
There's no turning now.
03
Just as she was about to make her birthday wish, her vision was blurred by the thickness of buttercream icing. The loud roars of laughter faded.
"...there's cake on my face." Her voice fell flat and the embarrassment grew red. The flashing of lights blinded her, but not as much as the rage brewing up inside.
She took out a flamethrower, blasting them all. She ripped off her clothes revealing her true form; A T-rex.
She bit off their heads as she grew in size. Destroying everything in her path.
[I gave up taking it seriously. This was hard]
04
"I refuse to believe you!"
"That's probably for the better."
05
I locked my eyes forward,
Heart heavy.
Where promises were made,
Now lost in a crowd,
Of potential mistake.
06
Bouquet of rainbows filled empty vases where love is replaced.
A single white rose,
Everlasting.
As if nothing ever took your place.
07
In the depths of your mind, a feeling-
Almost haunted.
In exploration of light, darkness must be confronted.
08
A thousand souls who dreamed of kisses,
A graffitied desk of longing wishes.
Etched foolishness in hearts combined.
I carved the letters U + I.
09
The sky has opened up,
It's a brand new day.
The moon cast illusions;
That faded away.
Birds singing the sweetest of songs.
The truth of the light is where belong.
10
What the hell are speckled eggs?
11
My mother's hands were the first I held.
Through twists and turns they shriveled and bled.
In all of her red, I saw she was strong.
The mother I held.
In my hand you belong.
12
Yearning softly for flowers that smelled sweet.
In rooms now hold empty.
Of words that can't breathe.
13
What is it like to be wanted?

14
Giggling

15
Drama at the family reunion

Underwater shimmers

To get myself more motivated in my writing I'm going to do a daily journal prompt!
The prompt is accessible on caleidescope.co if anyone else is interested in doing the same.
01
My life right now is stable, growth is consistent after having a baby 6 months ago. Seasons are changing fast while days feel slow. It's so much fun to see him go through the changes.
02
Massive changes have occurred since last May. Back then I was around 4 months pregnant, still in the same routine of working. The biggest change is having a baby of course, but I think what has surprised me most is learning to be myself while also getting to know this new part of me. So many women are caught up in this idea that life has to be different, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't one of them because in the beginning I felt the need to be a certain way when ultimately, to the core what's changed is the added responsibility and not who I am. It's a lot learning to balance my past self and my present self but who I was then is still here... Just more confident in asserting our boundaries.
03
In 10 days we're going on holiday for the first time with our baby. It'll be a great change in pace and definitely a much needed time to rest and reset. Being on maternity leave is monotonous so I'm looking forward to the change in scenery.
I love showing him new experiences and that despite being parents we can still do the things we love together!
04
Although I mention how monotonous days can be lately there's always something unexpected around the corner being a mum. I don't know if I can list anything as it's unexpected so how can I anticipate that really? Besides, I prefer not to dwell on unexpected things. It ruins the fun of being on your toes.
05
Change is scary, but I am fearless. I love to face change head on. Where change happens, growth occurs. And there's nothing more human than that.
06
I suppose the main transition I'm going through is integrating my past self with my present self towards my future self.
07
Letting go of...
☆ Limiting beliefs that the better version of myself is something to chase when in fact she's always been right here. Sometimes when we go through shadow work it can be difficult to adjust our vision to the light.
Welcoming...
☆ Brighter days and a chance to flow and relax. I have so many responsibilities on top of having a mind that never shuts off. I love to think deeply but I hope to spend this Summer season by enjoying each of my senses and noticing more of the world around me.
08
To the version of me that needed someone...
It gets better. All the times you held on to hope of better days. Listen to me when I say that it will come. And not in a way where one day everything is rainbows and sunshine, but in moments throughout your life that prove your resilience was worth it all along. That your dreams are worth fighting for.
There are three lessons in your life you will need to hold on to:
1. Feeling too much is the best part of you. To love greatly and to care deeply is not a flaw but a gift that only so many can hold. You will meet people who will make you feel your love is something to hide, but you will also meet people who will cherish all the love you pour into everything and adore it. Keep it close to your heart.
2. Not all opportunities should be experienced. Learn to follow your intuitive guidance and say no to what drains your energy or redirects you towards a path of difficulty. I know how much your soul craves to learn and experience life, but maybe that boy who is clearly using you, that friend who always makes you feel like an outsider or trusting a random stranger isn't adding much value to your life. When you finally start to say no is the day you'll feel what true power is.
3. You have ADHD. Get diagnosed early. The healthcare system is screwed and we will spend most of our adult life trying to get the help we need. You search and psychoanalyse every part of you, so this is your answer. It's not a personality disorder, you're not mentally ill. You are neurodivergent.
From the one that stayed.
09
My best phase in life was when I lived in Colorado. It was a time in my life where I felt my soul was awakening.
I met someone who taught me great lessons in life, about myself and how it felt to love so purely and to be trusted with a love so deep. I consider it the best phase in my life because it felt effortless and I felt free.
10
I find myself resisting changes in the relationship with my partner sometimes. It can be difficult to move on from past hurts especially when it's with the same person as they become a constant reminder. Being neurodivergent doesn't really uplift in this area because of the ruminating, but hey ho I'm still choosing to do better each day for myself, my partner, my family and my future self so it's not all bad.
11
I'm seeing balance coming in and a new perspective being revealed.
12
A recent transition that's changed my identity is again, becoming a mother. Having responsibility for someone who relies wholey on me has given me the necessary push to be more bold in asserting my boundaries through the lens of keeping him protected and safe at all times.
13
Keeping my peace and taking the high road. I grieve the things that I should have said or could have done, but a little reopening of that door quickly showed me that I made the right choice to end a friendship that disrespected my character, the friendship and showed me the truth behind the mask they were hiding behind. Keeping them in my life would have continued to keep me from meeting people that value me.
14
If I could condense it to one major challenge I'd say that being someone who values transformation and growth has been the biggest part of what's shaped me as who I am today. It's a blessing and a curse in a way because it has made me self aware, introspective and has taught me to be more empathetic to others. But when things settle down I find it difficult to accept that things are good and there are things that don't need to change. Yet being this way means I have never settled for less than what I feel in my core is right.
This has challenged me to do better, take accountability and most importantly seeing clearly what doesn't work and doing something about it, especially in my self.
15
Having high expectations is hard to release. I've been hardwired to expect a lot from myself which in turn leaks out onto the people around me, but everyday I'm learning to let go and be more relaxed. Accepting myself and others at the pace in which I, or they are capable of sharing. It is what it is.
16
Practicing patience until it becomes easier each day. With ADHD it can be difficult, but I try to fill my time with what keeps me moving and frequently review the bigger picture so I don't get burnt out by all the distractions.
