march 🌷🏡🎂 my favorite month!!!! the new year brings blossoms and light, even among a cold and grey start to spring. how lucky am i to turn a year older with the earth
things i’m grateful for at 26: my people, shirley temples, the pizza at the spurstowe, audrey hobert’s debut album, birdsong, hbo girls, my visa, crossword puzzles, reading in cafes, big thief, london buses, blond dachshunds, m&s vanilla greek yogurt, coloring books, waking up early by accident, microsoft word autosave, being alive!!!!!!!!
february 💐💒🍰 lots of friends and flowers. drank so much chamomile tea. cut my bangs too short and cried but then the sun came out and i didn’t think about it once
january 🛌🕯️☕️ i don’t take many pictures anymore. it was a long month — what i remember glows among the deep indigo of the rest. i love my friends and yogurt bowls and reading in places other than my bed
2025
over the last few weeks i had a throat infection that caused me to completely lose my voice. as i recover, i can’t help but feel like something in me has died with the year, and in its place i am growing another thing that’s new and strong. some years feel like endings. others feel like a fireplace in another room. i walk toward it with open arms. i’m going to let the light in. and i will sing very loud
love you
(poem by louise glück)
