goodbye 2025

you were not gentle you were exact there are years that pass quietly and then there are years that rearrange your bones where death occurs so that life can begin again and this time i was awake for it 2025 was the year of renewal of deep awareness of asking myself what do i want my life to look like now? what needs to change? what gets to stay? i found myself barefoot on a beach in san diego offering a prayer as deep as the ocean floor to the gods of the waters i closed my eyes tight hands pressed to my heart and with every ounce of magic i had left i imagined a love so safe hands so gentle a soul that spoke the same language as mine i whispered to the wind i’ve learned the lessons thank you for revealing them to me i know how to live them now i wrapped my arms around my body holding myself fiercely thanking my inner fire for being the lighthouse that never went out even when i couldn’t see the light and as i made my offering to the earth i placed my hands on the stage of life itself and thanked her for walking me back to myself i opened my eyes and that’s when i found her answered prayers Melissa x The Human👽🎀 📲 SAY HI ON SOCIAL: Website: https://iammelissaruiz.com/ Instagram:   / iammelissaruiz
