Here's to a year of letting go.
A year of heartbreak
A year of being alone and being terrified
Alone at a wedding
Alone at a funeral
Alone in Italy
A year of being alone and learning that it'll be ok.
Learning about the confusion of love,
and the beauty of that confusion.

I am a nature-enthusiest
I love lakes, teaching and joints
I wear make up like war paint
I love getting cozy.  And I love cuddling
I like planting flowers and watching them grow
I like to eat with my fingers
I love painting
And I love tattoos. On you On me
I want to learn new languages and I want to tell stories in them.
I like grapes but I love wine.

I want to be able to tell you everything but I've already put up walls.
Good luck loving me, friend.

It will be effortless and warming -
but it will end.
And it will end with confusion, all at once and all together.
