“You’re not squeamish, are you, Brigit?”
This is the first piece I ever put on Red Bubble, almost two years ago. I was so afraid of showing others my writing that I deleted it twice in the first 24 hours…yet something compelled me to post it again, and a hugely influential part of my writing journey began. I came back to polish it, make it shine. But this is the writer I was back then and although I wouldn’t do it quite the same now, I’m not going to change it. This pulled me out of hibernation, & I’ll always read it with a smile.

to be honest i don’t really know what my poetry really means until later on in life, i just write what i feel and what comes to mind. but what i was feeling at the moment of writing this, was how two people who shouldn’t be together, or that aren’t right for eachother, but are madly inlove, thriving off of eachothers energies, creating a spirit of true connection.
now truth. now kissed.
my thoughts can now see what i feel. my words can now think what i really see. simple.
You start thinking, if I let them in, how will they use this? Or what if they don’t believe it?...
This is just how I feel when I write…
