chosen

hey… long time no see?!?! life has been crazy these past few months! i moved across the world, started a new job, and finding mini moments to myself lately has been hard enough, let alone trying to intentionally hone in on my creativity and express myself :/ but now i’m in a certain rhythm and can devote more of my time to my ideas and creations (if i’m strategic enough that is, lol). i hope you’ve been doing well and have had a good year so far :)

the words to this poem, chosen, were kind of flowing to me in some of the most random moments. however, the theme actualized itself quite easily and concretely. these days, i find myself more in my ‘hopeful romantic’ energy than i was last year. maybe it’s the exhilaration of new beginnings, maybe it’s because i’m putting myself out there more, maybe it could be a lot of things. nonetheless, i find myself yearning for something romantic more and more, and i’m enjoying the feelings and process of wanting it. can it be frustrating at times? absolutely! however, in those quiet moments where i can just reflect on what i desire and why, it feels beautiful and comforting. sometimes, it can be hard to put these kinds of feelings into words, and even now i think this poem doesn’t fully encapsulate it right now, but that’s okay! i feel like acknowledging and releasing this bit of it for now, and i can always expand upon it later. so, i hope you enjoy chosen, and maybe it’ll evoke something in you too~

chosen:

to be chosen is poetry

a love that feels forbidden, though made for me

a yearning so deep

to create a grounded love

keep me rooted

a connection to ache for

to surrender to your light

make me blossom

living beside each other, living inside each other

for eternity is the only end

sending you love + clarity,
