I forgot about that moment for a while, but it’s been replaying in mind here lately. Sir, if you ever read this, you gave me hope. ♥️
I pulled some lines out of my notes app last night and ended up writing it til 2am. Perfected it this morning/afternoon. Enjoy!

I wrote this knowing it wouldn’t be for everyone. I mostly wanted everyone who struggles with compulsive eating for reasons outside the norm to know that they’re not alone.
It just so happens to also be Celiac Disease Awareness Month. :) #celiacdiseaseawareness

Still really hopeful that I won a Pushcart, despite the fact that it seems most of the winners have already been announced. 🫥 Was still quite honored for a nomination, either way. Fingers crossed. 📿

A duo of dancers not touching-- the air vibrant with almost. A pair of planets-- cold + brilliant-- aching across the vastness. Immunity to gravity-- to want-- yet, still they swirl. In this between is an expansion without growth-- a pull without hands... + yet, here is our dance.
Here is today's poem called "In This Between"

Happy Monday anxiety to everyone else.
