Happy Friday, my loves. 💜🖤💜 How was your week? The weather has been terrible for the past few days, I’m hoping that’ll turn around soon. Until then, I’m going to go lie under a pile of blankets and binge scary movies and relax!

Before I go, I wanted to share my choice for the poem of the week. This piece is by Ellen Everett, and it is lovely.

If you have not read their work yet, please do! I hope you love it as much as I do. And let me know your thoughts; I’m excited to hear them.

“if you’re looking for forever,
I’ll take the batteries out of my clocks.
So that we’ll be stuck inside this
Moment as if time had really stopped.

I would tell you i love you every second,
Except here, seconds do not exist.
So i’ll say i love you with each breath,
With each smile, with each kiss.

And when I die,
You can crank your watch,
Restart your clocks,
Begin the time.
And know that we were infinite in the
Moment that you were mine.”

~Ellen Everett

From the book, “I Saw You As A Flower”

Have a great weekend, and never let them take your shine because you shine so damn bright. Take care 💜✌🏽

Love Always,
