I never thought I could love a stranger….and then there was Alysia Harris…
alysiasache:
In my least confident moments, I believe shadows are meant to be our playmates. I know there are many a bride who wove her wedding dress with cobwebs, turned her tears to crisp champagne to water her guests and her hopes that things won’t always be this way. We settle and the secrets grow...

On turning 25. A letter. A declaration. A promise....
Now that you are twenty-five.
Do not despise the day that genes and stars aligned for such a cosmic moment as this. Embrace your soil-like skin, the eleven freckles on your face and the slight dimple on your left cheek.

inbetweenlove:
1.
do not be a hungry lover,
you will starve yourself before you
feel full.
2.
it will be a famine not a fast.
3.
you are never the same woman on mornings
when your heart is valley wide and knee deep
in feeling.
follow your heart but do not be lead by it.
4.
