"i have written you down. now, you will live forever."

I can't say the words, 
so I wrote you into my verse 
now you'll live through the ages...
I have written you down. now, you will live forever.

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 lonely
  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).

  3. Your 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?

    1. Thank 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.
