Intimacy in Pink

I wrote this poem about the kind of intimacy I want to experience with the right person. Initially it was just a poem and then I decided to make it into a video! Which admittedly was pretty difficult. I was inspired by a tiktok trend where people described their significant others as various things like colors, drinks, cars, etc., over a piano cover of Mac Miller’s Congratulations. I used the same song as the background music for this video. I hope you guys enjoy it 🙂 Please leave a comment telling me what you this made you feel! 💕

Okay I hope that by the time this video is public there’s an actual picture and not this grey blur !

I listed the credits in the video description on youtube!

This is the post we’ve been waiting on! Cool to listen to the poem. And it’s longing in the sweet uplifting way. Put it out there, it’ll come back.

This is one of the most beautiful poems I’ve read. The intimacy, the sense of security and warmth I felt while watching this was unmatched! You have such a gift with words 🖤

“ I want to hold your heart in my fist but know you trust me enough not to crush it. I want to hold your hand and feel that I am more than just me, I’m we.” Every being of me felt that!

By far one of the best 🖤 Keep doing what you are doing!!

Wholesome Words from a Mending HeartApril 27, 2022
Dating, especially in the post Covid world era, is stressful and weird, presenting itself with what seems, at least to me, to be the most difficult terrain I’ve ever had to traverse. I’ve come to realize that the dating app scene can seem mindless, oftentimes feeling aimless, debilitating, and criminally objectifying. In a lot of... Continue Reading →
For my Love (future)April 26, 2022
I wanted to have a variety of mediums for this project, so I made a playlist! This is just a cute little playlist with a pretty self explanatory title. The songs aren’t in any particular order so feel free to skip around. Enjoy 🙂

Quarter Love CrisisApril 19, 2022
Rihanna said, “I’ve loved and I’ve lost.” back in 2012 and I didn’t know what it meant. I was only a teenager in high school. I went on my first date in college at the age of 19. That date turned into another and another and we went 9 months strong including 6 months of... Continue Reading →
UnfinishedApril 18, 2022
It's funny how sometimes the beginning predicts the end. My first passion started as it ended: out of nowhere I only noticed the first kiss when it came I only noticed its absence when it didn't With the second girl I saw it coming I knew where it was heading before we even began But...

Love & DatesApril 14, 2022
I want to go on a date. I’ve never been on a date before. To be completely honest, I’ve never wanted to go on a date before. Sometimes, when I mention this to someone, they seem surprised. Perhaps I seem a little old to have never been on a date, or in a relationship, or... Continue Reading →

This was my first date with my ex. We lived near each other, though we had never met, or even seen each other. After we matched, we quickly grew fond of one another, and soon we were scheduling a date. However, there was a small problem: I was playing futsal and had to split the... Continue Reading →
Accidentally in LoveApril 12, 2022
I’ve walked this life with my head in the clouds, eyes in a book, or a problem to resolve; a figment of imagination, a part of reality, or a little bit of both I may never know. The darkness of the world felt distant, drumming, theory of chaos. Life doesn’t always have the structure that... Continue Reading →

Finding Self Love Through HobbiesApril 7, 2022

My Reluctant LoveApril 5, 2022
It doesn’t make sense that we fell in love as we did. I hated you. I hated the way you breathed, like you held each moment carefully in fear or hope it would be your last. Or the strides you took from the door to your room, anxiously waiting for a cycle to end so... Continue Reading →
Red FlagsApril 4, 2022
What are red flags to someone with rose colored glasses? What is love to someone who’s never had it? Was your only intention to take advantage Of someone who accepted crumbs of affection as currency?
