A place where you can be human.
Love is an act not a feeling
The feeling is anxiety
Same feeling you get on a roller coaster
Or right before you’re about to speak
When I say love, I’m referring to the verb.
I will love myself with actions
I will love you with my actions
It’s a bonus when you get both the actions and the words. 👏👏

Hiding in peace
No, not hiding
Just put away
in no special order
Head on her shoulders
Hips below her waist
But her mind it’s in the books
And late night conversations
It’s searching
out in the open
While everything else
Is not hiding
No, not hiding
Just put away
in no special order

The walls dance around me
The floors present and safe
Until there’s a gap
Between the floor and my feet
The tea is ready
the carpets are slapped clean
Let me see
Let me see
Ah, the walls waltz a waltz I know
Shall we dance
The walls shift and play
And I scream with delight
And laugh when I’m pulled in too close
When the music fades
I just know I’ll remember how much I’ve always loved to dance
-Saschia
The world goes on without me
And I’m just fine with that
My toesies are tucked away
My heart wide open as the ocean
And my mind mine to explore
Let the world go on without us
Sit with me
-Sasch
Self-doubt is a bitch
She sneaks up on you with questions
Simple logical questions
And then she brings in reason
And your well-meaning friends
That’s when everything you wanted to do becomes a mountain
Do it anyway
Fuck self-doubt and all her questions
It’s like
Shouting into the wind
I shared and I shared
And I yelled and I screamed
Not even an echo returned
Just breath
Not even silence
And I noticed the other day
How you gave me a hint
Just a tiny peak inside your mind
All for a fuck
You knew my weakness
I’m learning though.
I see now
how you’ve made it so far
Without being present
-Sasch
I approve of you
I approve of your workout
And your smile
And the way you raise your babies
I see you learning and thinking things through as usual
To be specific
I like how you’re learning to trust yourself
How you can be honest about your shortcomings
And compromise with clear set boundaries
Let’s keep going
She is filled to the brim
With her own approval
There were days when she looked for it in others
But one day she decided the only one she needed approval from was herself
He is something I want to myself
He is real and innocent
He reminds me of Christmas morning
The moment you unwrap the only toy you asked for
Or that burst of energy you’ve been waiting for since noon
He’s a tight squeeze on a rough day
And just the words you need to hear on good day
He is me
And I am him
A collection of all the things that brought us together
-Sasch
There are days when I’m down
When my tear ducts ache
There are days when I stand behind my inner warrior
So my fire can fight the good fight
And there are days when I crave whiskey and risky behavior
But most days I just feed the blank page
That’s how things stay in perspective for me
-Saschia
