Flipping through the leaves
Of all the times I’d still been here,
And thinking of what went wrong,
but my mind is as blank
As the sky after snow,
Intersected by the dead, cold branches.
And the book snapped shut
I blinked at all it truly was,
And saw that after all,
The story ends with us.

Inspired by All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. ❤
You may have a dark skyFractured by city lights
But I have an orange veil
That reminds me of summer nights.
And a promise that the sky holds
Our dreams and our ambition
Trying to make a sense
Out of one broken world.
So today, I pick up the pieces
And arrange them skyward
And I know that these colors
Will be enough
To form another sunset
Tinged with the warmth
Of a last hug.

Welcome to loud music and wavy hair, to dances and dresses, to live a little louder, to laugh a little more, to the nodding of the trees and the splashes of rain. Say hello to breezes and cozy sleep, to hard work that is fun, to cringe – worthy movies that make you chortle, to long phone calls and passing notes in class. Welcome to a midsummer mind, where we live and love while summer holds our souls.

She looks like a ray of light, like the sunset, like the sky after rain, like the sea looks when it kisses the sky at the horizon and she radiates warmth like Christmas lights but like fire, she looks fierce.
She smells of lavender brushed with bonfires, like chestnuts and tall maple, like the violets and lilacs , up in the mountains.
She walks with the stance of a ballerina and she sings throwback songs that remind me of childhood. She plays hard and loves hard. Being with her feels like summer and that says a lot.

Try not to lose yourself,
hold on to what you love.
Fall and get back up,
like the sun
– remembering
to rise,
one more time.
~Saadia
Fight till you see the sun.
For darkness is never meant to last.
Color your soul.
