i was crying over something that i could not yet name. just a fleeting emotion, so heavy, like a thunderous wave, yet with the grace of a nymph’s whispers in a forest in summer, sunlight laying in fragments, filtering through the leaves. it was longing for everything that could have been. everything that i ever was, everything that i had been. everything at once i was a canvas being painted in midnight blues, fresh reds, like tiny blossoms gleaming in the moonlit night. the brush was always so gentle on my skin. and yet, i felt as though i was being struck each time. but i wasn’t crying anymore. just living, accepting and breathing and living.

grief is a hard emotion! it’s not something i want to embrace, and yet it remains present in the most random times. sometimes i suddenly feel too sad. i think grief is something hard to navigate, but it can become easier to, with time.
