in bloom

by Rachel Lynch

Springtime is wonderful because it means summer is near. I’m a june baby, a little crab, so summer is naturally my favorite season.

But you can’t enjoy summer without the tease of spring - it’s emerging colors and heavy rains.

Life gets more beautiful when you stop rushing, and start enjoying every season you are given. Bloom where you are planted.

"i'm the cat by the bar toasting to the good life"

What is the extent of your wildness? When does desire to be outside yourself become danger?

I’ve danced the line for two years now - between active consciousness and the need to release. Drinks to take the edge off so I don’t have to care or think.

That desire has grown weaker in me since 2020, I see it for all its shortcomings now. It promises me the pleasure, but always falls short.

The urge to have a wild night used to be so strong, I couldn’t really fight it. And when I tried, it slithered in slowly anyway, unplanned and unannounced. With the kundalini awakening, I fast forward when the urge hits. I see the next day- the headaches, the damage to my health, the staying in the same pattern OVER and OVER again. It’s exhausting and honestly so boring.

I’d like to be done, I’d like to be free.
