He who shall not be named may have won the presidency, but my victories, reveries, memories... I won't let them be overshadowed by his and his cult followings' bigotry.
My little victories of finally making myself that cup of jasmine tea, of sitting in my sunroom listening to wind chimes' symphony... He can't take those victories away from me. My iridescent reveries of running my own bird sanctuary, of traveling to heaven-like locales overseas... He can't take those reveries away from me. My moving memories of being enveloped in my love's arms amongst pine trees, of love born at first meeting...
He can't take those memories away from me.
He can't take away my will to live freely. He can't take away my poetry. He can't take away my hope... not entirely.
You may try, false god of hate and lies,
but Athena's ability to endure is also mine.
Oh my god, this touched me so deeply. I so resonate. We all have a safe and sacred space within us that cannot be touched, not even by the most powerful and evil forces. Thank you for reminding me of this during a dark time ❤️ -Nina
Yes yes yes!! So grateful for this powerful reminder to enjoy and cherish the little victories. There are many of them, and we won't ever give up on them. Thanks for being such a cozy place to land <3
Beautifully written and very relatable. It's easy to lose sight of the small moments that make life wonderful, so I'm happy you still see them, even now.
Thank you for having the courage to write, keeping your light alive, even as darkness surrounds. Thank you for sharing these snippets of beautiful moments from your life. They are powerful memories which I hope will bring you strength. You are an incredible person. Nothing can change that. 💜
