some days it feels like the light comes and goes
i fall into shadows

but i sought protection
in a boy with sandy blond hair,
deep blue eyes.
i thought he put the stars in the sky
but oh, i was wrong
i guess love really is blind
And so was i
self love
There are days when nothing on me looks right. My hair, my smile, my clothes. All of it seems fake, unnatural. Sometimes I just don’t feel right in my own skin. I know everybody experiences days like this, but it is so incredibly important to accept ourselves as we are. Continue reading “self love”
loss of your life
