When you think of me you think of
honey-dipped words
a flaming orange glass bottle of Jack Daniel's, 45 ml mixed part coke part water, equal distribution / traffic light red roses or sunset pink lilies on plastic hair clutches / skirts, with their assortment of laces or army of rusty patchworks / half-naked yoga on the forest green mat, with a baby lizard locked in my room / loose leaf tea in hand-made, hand-painted ceramic mugs / gallons of water chugged into this flamingo vessel of a body / tasteless lip balms, gosh artificial strawberry makes me gag where I'm standing / glistening body oils / Nargis soaked into my skin till I become the flowers / delicate darling / fierce shorty / empty ice cream cones from Mc Donald’s / running into salty sea foam / soft peach fuzz / everything tangerine paired with everything cobalt / silver jewellery, sepia walls / pressed daisies in fat journals / Bollywood songs from the 90s / reuse, repair, recycle / moods of the moon, waning & waxing pleasure / a leaky lover, dripping poems all over the floor / no pineapples on pizzas / truffle oil on pizzas / a fashion chameleon & blossoming cactus / fluid but pokey if you breach my walls / healed / healing / hurt / hurting / hopeful hopeful hopeful / joy / uncombed hair / persistent like heartbeat / a cat's purr / honey-dipped words / the first bite of fresh cool watermelon / giggle fits / belonging / love love love

Newsletter I loved this week:
Life's full of these tiny, unnoticed moments—like the crumple of a chip bag or the spit of a cherry pit—stuff we don’t think twice about, but damn if they don’t make up the whole damn mess. Kiana’s got the guts to put a spotlight on what most people ignore, and in these little, raw details, you find more truth than in all the grand speeches of the world.
Nature is brimming with poetry, if you just take the time to listen. This 9-page guide offers everything you need to dive into the beauty of nature with a poet’s eye. From choosing the right location to engaging all five senses, this guide will help you unlock the writing potential hidden in leaves, birdsongs, and morning dew. Bonus resources included for even more inspiration!
Another way to show your love for my work is to share my posts, buy me a coffee to help me travel to America, & leaving sweet comments under my posts.
I loved it!🥺
I love reading internet writers, and you’re amongst the very few I share my writing style with
and knowing this, I can tell how the heart is open and where the mind is placed with the words you choose and feelings you dump🍯
it’s been such a long time since I have written like this (some x years), so reading your works and notes have become so much more experiential that I can’t put into words🤍
PS. whenever you receive a compliment, remember it comes with a degree of appreciation far greater to how you feel about it!
Beautiful!
