Every Thorn

The softest hearts often hide themselves the most carefully.

Thirty minutes too late

I felt jealous of the sunlight for reaching her before I could.

Love speaks honestly

Sometimes love reveals itself in the smallest pauses — in the quiet softness that still exists even when two hearts disagree.

The Cold Feels Heavier

Sometimes the fear of being alone feels easier to carry than the feeling of slowly disappearing beside someone.

Hidden souls

In a world full of appearances, honesty has become the rarest form of intimacy.

Pretend

A reflection on the versions of ourselves we create to be loved, and the quiet distance between attraction and being truly seen.

Learning to miss differently

The heart still reaches for certain souls long after they are gone.

Too heavy to hold

Some souls do not break loudly. They simply grow quieter after carrying too much for too long.

Fear

A reflection on emotional distance, fading intensity, and the fear of no longer being deeply affected by love.

The last ember

A reflection on the quiet strength that remains after life burns through us, and the small warmth that still chooses to survive the dark.

Guarded heart

My inner world became winter long before anyone noticed.

Born inside uncertainty

The deepest parts of life are often born in moments where nothing feels certain yet.
