she'd never tell you why she liked the word
b r a v e
(the connotation evoked the feeling she desperately wanted:
a l i v e n e s s).
she'd never tell you why she always wore
b l u e
(it reminded her of the ocean whose tides ebbed and flowed and
r a g e d
inside h e r) .
she’d never tell you why her disposition was
n o c t u r n a l
(the moon always made her feel a little less lonelyn o c t u r n a l
knowing there were a few certain people loving her to that distance
& b a c k).
she'd never tell you why her soul craved to write in
f r e e || v e r s e
(she knew that's how memories would never have the opportunity to escape
and that you would never ever be able to
l e a v e).

xxpostscript // say "au revoir" to lottie. starting may 1st, I'm beginning my summer journal. :)
okay, i give up. that's it. i'm done. no, really. i don't think you really realize how talented you are, darling. you are dang talented. this is so fantastic, it makes me slightly jealous of yours skills. (okay, very jealous of your skills. ;) ) and you, m'dear, are a poet. where do you find all those fantastic quotes for your journals? ahh, they make my heart ache, and thrill at the same time. in short, you are incredible. you are oh-so talented, and beautiful and i love you ever so much. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Grace this is simply divine. Your words make me crave beauty. <3 xx
ReplyDeleteYour creativity inspires me so much! I love your journals. ❤ Do you start with a premade journal then add your own bits and scraps of paper and other items?
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear! So glad Lottie serves as some inspiration. ;) I do start with pre-made journals, usually from the "boygirlparty" company {she can be found here:https://www.etsy.com/shop/boygirlparty?section_id=5252167&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1 <<< and a few of her journals can usually be spotted in Barnes and Nobles}. My summer journals have been collected from other people; for instance, Molly was purchased in a stationery shop down in LA. :) Hope this helps! Thank you again for the kind words.
Deleteyou are so talented, just wow.
ReplyDeleteYour journals are so gorgeous I can't even handle it. You're a master, my dear.
