All In, No Exit

Love like this doesn’t whisper. It crashes, it wrecks, it pulls me under, and I don’t want to come up for air. It’s not something I tiptoe around… it’s something I dive into headfirst, knowing it could break me, knowing…

Autopilot

I used to think there was a version of myself worth fighting for. Someone whole, someone unshaken, someone who could look in the mirror and not flinch at what stared back. But somewhere along the way, that version of me…

Who I Was

I don’t know how to start this, so I guess I’ll just say it. I don’t like the person I used to be. It’s strange, looking back, realizing how easy it was to make excuses for myself. How I could…
