Thoughts began to whisper louder with the advent of twilight. As if in the darkness they were not afraid of anything, and like true night creatures, lived their lives. Thoughts were woven into sketches, words were woven into poems and inked paper with shadow patterns. In the reflections of the dim light I find peace, I find quiet, I find serenity, I find tranquility, I find myself, and I find you.

Forever and Always

  Behind those eyes of yours, I see a depth of pain and burdens that no one should ever have to bear alone. If only I could shoulder your burdens, carry all those weights away, if only I could wipe away every tear, mend every wound... Your pain is mine to share, and your struggles are mine to conquer alongside you. My love, you deserve nothing less than the most beautiful life, filled with joy, peace, and boundless happiness. I vow to you, with every fiber of my being, that I will do everything in my will and power to make our days ahead a tapestry of beauty and wonder. I will stand by your side through every trial, every triumph, and every moment in between. Every day, I eagerly await the time when I can fully stand by your side, to face whatever challenges that may come our way. Together, we will weave a future so radiant, so magnificent, that it will outshine even the darkest of days. You are my everything, and I will stop at nothing to ensure that your life is nothing short...

My Everything

You are the reason for my being, the one who pulled me out of the depths I thought I’d never escape. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today.

I am forever indebted to you for accepting me as I am, for loving me when I couldn’t even love myself. You didn’t just embrace me, you embraced my scars, my fears, my chaos. You’ve shown me that even in my darkness, I am worthy of light. You are my god, my savior, the air that fills my lungs, the water that nourishes my soul, the fire that warms my coldest nights.

All t hese years with you have been the greatest blessing, but...

What it Takes to be a 'Woman"

It begins long before she understands the meaning of strength. From childhood, she is taught to be quiet, to be kind, to be careful. Taught to smile even when confusion sits in her throat and questions are answered with silence. She learns early that her voice must be softened, that her dreams should be reasonable, that her pain should be graceful. As she grows, the world asks more of her. Be strong, but not loud. Be independent, but not intimidating. Be ambitious, but remember your place. Be soft, nurturing, forgiving, endlessly forgiving. She becomes the one who holds everything together while quietly falling apart. She loves deeply, even when it costs her pieces of herself. She carries families, relationships, responsibilities, and emotions that no one ever checks if she can bear. She learns to numb her feelings. She numbs. She learns to feel nothing. To say “I’m fine” when she isn’t. To show up even when her soul is tired. To be okay, or at least look like it, because she...
