Spirit
It wasn’t then. It wasn’t now. It was her, no matter how much I drowned. I drowned in wonder, in thought. She was always there to save me when I got in too deep. She grasped my hand and raised me from the ground, the poor sproutling who was shaded from the sun. She was beautiful. She was mine. In silent agony she wept, I never even knew. She was enchanting, she always had a smile on her face even if I she thought I was ignoring her. Then I realized, it wasn’t then, but it was now. And I wondered how. {Photo on cover belongs to photographer, and does not belong to me in any way.}Complete

A Book of Words That Never Seem To Be Enough

The Weight of Breathing
Every breath carries a story. Some are shallow, fleeting. Others are heavy - filled with memories, pain, and the quiet will to keep going. When life begins to lose its rhythm, when exhaustion settles deep into the bones, one girl must learn what it truly means to be alive - not just to survive. Through illness, recovery, and rediscovery, The Weight of Breathing unravels the delicate thread between body and soul, showing how health is not only about the heart that beats, but the reasons it keeps beating. This story reflects on the fragility of the human body and the quiet resilience hidden within everyday life. It's a journey through stillness, breath, and healing - and a reminder that sometimes, the smallest inhale can change everything.Complete
