“Sometimes our best form of self-love is where we do things when no one is watching, no one is noticing, and it’s the holy act that we get to whisper to ourselves each time we come to stand in front of the mirror and relearn how to adore ourselves in a way only true lovers do, in whispers, in consecrated corners, under sheets, behind closed doors, and all the private places where we get to be the most seen.Then when you come out, you’re absolutely glowing, and it’s this sacred secret between you and yourself that your darling is your own damn beautiful lover. Go love her, just like that.”
"I've decided I'm no longer in my queen era I'm in my lover era. Queens are served, feared, made slave to her kingdom and subjects. I don't want subjects nor to be served.I want to be madly in love, passionate, crazed with affection, overflowing with lavishness, deep deep in adoration all mutually reciprocated in a cycle of overflow."

Love
"My body, she is my dessert that I trust in enough to leave the playground. And now she's been given the voice that was told to hush. With it, she's learning to listen to the songs of the birds but more importantly the sound of her own powerful hum."

Self-awareness
"To hold something new, we have to let go of something else. I keep wondering what it is that keeps us hanging on to the very things we find sentimental but also poison us with every repeated immersion."

Inspiration
"Let's not be afraid of shining the light on what feels terrifying to be seen because you deserve to be seen; every beautiful, unexplainable, mysterious edge of you deserves to be seen and held by your precious loving hands."
