white orchids, 111

but one thing about my best friend

She Remembers everyone’s Birthdays takes care of everyone’s pets n handles everyone’s business without hesitation

even after I disappeared into my own trauma n couldn’t speak to anyone for over a year

I missed the Birth of my first nephew tryna get my mind back

n was too ashamed to apologize for how my own issues isolated me from the ones I Love for way too long

She still shows up

unconditionally

may God(dess) endlessly Bless the ones who speak to me in flowers (I’ve never received a bouquet this BIG n I really needed it)

Bless those who can consider me in my inexplicably silent lonely

Bless the ones who help me to understand in ways I can understand

that it is okay to Be me that there is still space for me

Bless the ones who have offered me a rare sense of Belonging in such a big city

they’re more than flowers to me

I Love you, Audrey, Arion, Ali ❤
