I think I finally heard myself think!
A small thought rose to the surface these past few weeks. It felt like noticing my own mind again after being away from it.
A quiet corner of the zoo, a place soft enough to disappear into, yet sealed onto skin—something that stays, something that exists in you forever. Filed under curiosity, restraint, and very specific feelings.

A small thought rose to the surface these past few weeks. It felt like noticing my own mind again after being away from it.

The dumbest words, dressed as tenderness, become knives wrapped in silk.

Feeling deeply isn’t something to fix—it’s something to protect. And I’m learning to trust the places where I don’t have to hide that part of me.

Or, how to keep going when everything tells you to stop—when the rejections pile up, the doubt creeps in, and you wonder if maybe, just maybe, you weren’t meant for this.

Love is beautiful, but settling isn’t. Tia Blake’s song got me thinking about why people expect me to be in a relationship—and why I refuse to rush.
