“Vibrant relationships
feel like a sanctuary

as you both seek to evolve
a union
void of control
but filled with
mutual understanding”

Comforting Thought: There are spaces meant for you

“i know you squeeze into tight spaces
with the hope that you may fit
without aching.
there are spaces meant for you
that will not require you to bend
in order to belong safely.”
