the woman who tames fires and snakes and savours bones. - Nikita Gill

Take the day one cautious step at a time. Remember how fearless tastes. Remember how your grandmother told you 'always prepare for the worst of situations by being the best of yourself.

And sometimes, you are going to be
as fierce as a dragon
armed in scales of impenetrable gold
and sometimes you are going to be
as vulnerable as a lamb,
soft and comforting in newborn wool.
Both versions of you deserve to be loved.
Both versions of you are needed.
Both versions of you are beautiful.

The Goddess is coming home to us; she brings wealth to our houses and hearts.” This is how I see my sisters. Pure as fire, the greatest wealth I could ever know, finally, finally, bringing me home.
