You too, June! I took a break from writing for a few months - you know how life just gets in the way sometimes? Hoping to dedicate some more time to it again now though! I hope all’s well with you β™₯️

"But as the waves outside crashed and my insides flooded with your warmth, I found myself thinking about bones in sand like broken moons, grey ears like giant moths, tired of listening, trunks withering to nothing."
