The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.

Warsan ShireDocument the moments you feel most in love with yourself - what you're wearing, who you're around, what you're doing. Recreate and repeat.

Warsan ShireLight attracts light. But sometimes your light attracts moths and your warmth attracts parasites. Protect your space and energy
