"Going home was sorrow in my pockets
and glitter upon my heels."

These two lines took my breath away. I can only imagine the weight and heaviness of sadness, yet I also know there's a light, a glitter that is with you too. You've shown the beauty through the deepest pain.

I'm so sorry no one heard or tried to understand you then, but I am glad that nature and the Earth became such a backbone, a way to feel loved and listened to. This is an incredibly inspirational and moving piece, as all your works are, because you write from that lovely heart of yours. If it means anything, knowing you has shown me the wonder of accepting one's self, though it can take time and be a lonely process.

Growing up always feeling like you dont quite fit in really anywhere, totally relate to this Andrea. I love how you put this to words my friend-beautiful..

So beautiful, not a clichè in sight.
