Hiya :) I only spend like 10 days in LA but I already know Im moving out there, the west coast waves already have a grip over my heart. To everyone I saw, it was so lovely seeing u all. U all have such a special place in my heart, even though we arent able to see each other much because of the distance, whenever I do see y’all, it’s like no time passed I had a lot of fun with friends and I also spent a lot of time in solitude reflecting, met this cute lil pug and this cool shopkeeper along the adventure :) This entire summer ever since Cee’s How To Love shoot got me thinking, what does it mean to love? Its a theme that keeps coming back into my life I know I do love, I know I feel it intensely for the people who mean so much in my life. 99% of the time it makes zero sense to me. It makes me feel irrational, at the same time, it fills my heart with a depth like no other, however painful it can be sometimes. From platonic to familial to all the different ways u can love, if I could experience it again- I would, a thousand times over. Its the life raft I need to survive this drowning world, I see this world we all live in tries to bubble to the surface but its weighed down by all this hatred and its devastating to witness. How much pain could we all save ourselves from if we all just took that leap of faith? I feel just how terrifying it is but I try remembering how much is lost from denying love. To my loved ones, I see the ways u criticize ur flaws and hurt, and in a different light, I see how beautiful and strong u are. It makes me want to treat my heart with the same gentleness. I watched terrified as the blood cracked the stone on my heart faster than I thought I could handle. Its viscuous, hot, sticky, but its alive and warm. So keep loving, even if it breaks ur heart again and again. Just look at how beautiful the love in nature is, u might surprise urself :) I’m 22 and maybe I’ll look back and cringe, but idc. Rn Im a lover and want to keep sharing love. So, call me Day from here on out, I still carry Dayana with me and their struggles but Day carries on with more grace and love in their heart- with the strength and positivity of the daylight sun 🌞
