by the sea

I hear the wind before it hits me, after a day of rain it comes in strong shaking the building I am in. I sigh as I lookout the window through the darkness, I sense it’s whispers, years of secrets I could never crack. Not my story to share.

Just Breathe

I write in coffee shops I space out, my mind exited to entertain some thoughts instead. The beauty of a Saturday with nothing to do but write and visit and catch up on my life. The days where life has less structure brings joy to remember the things I forget to do when I amContinue reading “Just Breathe”

Adjusting

I watched all summer long the vines from the plant outside my window move from one side to the other as it grew over the months. The end of summer is here and I find myself adjusting back to my routine after time spent with family. It’s a bit jarring and relieving to return backContinue reading “Adjusting”
