Quote of the Week:
"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." — J.K. Rowling
Sometimes it takes falling apart to find the pieces worth keeping. J.K. Rowling’s words remind us that rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. The place where we strip away what was never ours and begin again, stronger, softer, and closer to who we were always meant to be.
Currently Listening:
“Skinny Love” by Bon Iver
This song is the sound of heartbreak unraveling quietly in a dim room. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just play—it aches. A whisper of love slipping through shaking hands. A soft war between holding on and letting go. It reminds us that sometimes the most fragile things carry the most weight—and that even the quietest cries can echo forever.

Currently Reading:
My dear friend Mikaela Reuben wrote a book for the ones who nourish with intention and cook with heart - for your table, your body, your people 🖤
If you believe food is poetry too, you’ll fall in love with "Eat to Love". Her book launches 6/3 but is available for pre-order now - please take a moment to spark your senses.
Inspired By:
Poe’s A Dream Within a Dream feels like falling through the layers of your own soul—grasping for meaning as time slips, grain by grain, through your fingers. It’s haunting and beautiful, a whispered reminder that life is fleeting, fragile, and perhaps not even real at all. A dream inside a dream… and we are all just trying to wake up.
Fan Feature:
Every week, I showcase incredible works submitted by you, the readers. Want your poetry featured next? Find me on Instagram and send over a few of your favorite pieces via DM—I can't wait to read what you're creating 🖤
There’s something raw and beautifully strange in this one—a quiet ache wrapped in whimsy. The poet captures the kind of longing that lives in the bones, in the throat, in the awkward corners of being human. A clumsy raccoon heart looking for its kind. I feel that. We all do. Somewhere in the ache, there’s a wild hope. Check out @virgiswords on Instagram!
