Other people will keep inventing versions of her; the page remains where she refuses to shrink herself to fit any of them.
-
Love ruins poetry in the best way when one person begins haunting every metaphor, every page, and every unwritten name.
-
A tender confession about carrying someone like a protected secret and wondering what they would do if they knew.
-
Healing is not forgetting the past—it is learning to love the version of yourself who survived it and kept choosing tomorrow.
-

-
A reflection on surviving loss, love, and every fracture that tried to make her disappear—and the stubborn part of her that kept reaching toward the light.
