Relationships

Dear beloved,

I remember the day I first laid eyes on you. A little tuxedo kitten, your fur was a blend of black and white, and your paws looked like you had just stepped in fresh snow.

The crazy combination of emojis I’ve saved beside your name in my phone pops up, and I instantly smile. It’s a Facetime call, and when I answer, your face lights up my entire screen.

My family has a long tradition of creating handmade gifts for each other.

Dear Man with the Matches, 

Do you remember seeing a gaggle of college kids making their way down the street late one night?

Who were our parents as children? What were their hopes, dreams and desires? What did they have to give up in order to become adults? What parts of them slowly faded into distant memory, slipping away with each new second, minute, month, or milestone? 

Dearest,

I watched from the top of the staircase tonight as you gripped the railing on the way down, knuckles white and still bony from the years you let me hold them. 

My camera roll is a time capsule that launches my brain back to a specific space.

Hush little baby don’t you cry

To my friends, 

You are the pieces of my puzzle that make me whole. This is for you :)    

Every sound wave is a pattern. 

Every sound wave has its own frequency, a wavelength recreated over and over again.
