Where "Everything" begins. -

"The sun will nurture, the moon will haunt you. Everything is balance, everything is useful. You will gasp for air from laughter, birthed deep down in your belly. Your diaphragm will fill with cries too heavy for your tear ducts to cradle. They will catch you, but only hold you for so long. You will lust, you will yearn for hearts to call home, you will make mistakes, you will give more than you take. Girl interrupted, who had to become a woman too soon.

You will be too heavy and too difficult to love for some. You will hurt, and you will heal, you will spin magic from your hands and cast spells with your tongue. You will forgive and betray. The sweetest love will uproot you, and there will be storms – those that obliterate and those that cleanse, trust both waves.

Eventually they’ll be the tiniest speck in your memory. You will tether near and far from soulmates and lose friends to the distance. Good mournings and goodbyes are beginnings, you will find solace in endings. The universe will guide you if you learn to surrender to gravity. You will die a million deaths and be reborn at each dawn. Perseverance is your bloodline.

Eventually you’ll see yourself,

Heavenly body on Phoenix wings.”

Eventually, Everything.
