Whispers to the Moon
depth, joy, becoming
You were never meant
to dim your light
to be easier to love.
Come home to yourself
your radiance is magic

Collected Whispers
Chapter 3 | Entry Thirty-Two
"The light I'm carrying now came from tending to myself in his absence, but some part of me still wants to turn around and show him." The music is playing, songs from one of my favorite playlists. Something with a beat that makes my hips sway without thinking. I'm getting ready for my friend's birthday at the wineries, with sunshine, live music, and laughter waiting for me. I slip my dress over my shoulders, the fabric feels soft against my skin. I dance a little as I zip it
Chapter 3 | Entry Thirty-One
"Sometimes the body knows before the mind catches up, screaming NO when the heart still whispers maybe." For three days, I live in clarity. I wake up and my body feels different. Settled. Like something that's been clenched for months finally let go. I make my coffee and leave my phone on the counter, unchecked. I sit in my cozy chair and watch the light move across the room and I'm not waiting for anything. Not hoping. Not scanning. Just...here. I go shopping for a new dress
Chapter 3 | Entry Thirty
"Knowing lives in the body, not the mind; in the way your breath catches or your shoulders drop when something feels right." I know what I need now. Not in theory. Not as some abstract ideal I'm supposed to want. But in my body. In the way my shoulders rest when something feels right. In the exhale that comes when I'm not holding myself together. I need someone whose presence makes me softer, not smaller. Someone I can sit beside in silence without wondering what they're thin
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Nine
"You can't unknow yourself once you've finally been introduced." I was at the grocery store this morning, standing in the produce section, when a man smiled at me. But before that, before the smile, before the moment... I was scanning. Not consciously. But my body was doing it. That low-level hum of awareness I didn't even realize was running. Eyes flicking up when someone walked past. Shoulders slightly forward, chest slightly guarded. That old familiar tension in my jaw, th
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Eight
"To see someone clearly is not to stop loving them. It's to love them as they actually are, and to release them from being who you thought you needed them to be." I'm sitting on my back porch with a glass of wine, watching the day settle into evening. The sky is turning soft shades of pink and gold. The air has that quiet weight that comes when the world starts to slow down. My glass is cool in my hand. And I'm thinking about him. Not with longing this time. Not with the ache
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Seven
"The mind builds castles from a single kiss, but the heart learns something truer: loving the architect means letting the walls come down." I held the line. I didn't contact my friend. I stayed true to myself. But as I sat with that choice, something unexpected rose to the surface. A thought I'd been circling around but never quite landing on. So I came here, to the quiet corner couch at the tea shop down the way, the one with the lights dimmed and small eclectic decorations
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Six
It would be so easy.
Scroll through my contacts. Find my friend's name. Send him a friendly text to spark a chat. Meet for dinner and wine, enjoy company and flirt a little. Stop the ache.
My body was practically begging me to do it.
Just this once. Just to feel something. Just to remember what it's like to be wanted.
And I sat there, finger poised, ready to give in.
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Five
"The body remembers what the mind tries to forget, every touch, every breath, every moment skin met skin." The restlessness of being alone settled, eventually. But what it left behind wasn't peace, it was hunger. Here I am lying in bed, and all I can think about is how long it's been since someone touched me. Not a hug from a friend. Not a hand on my shoulder in passing. I mean touched me. The kind of touch that makes your breath catch. That makes you aware of every inch of y
Chapter 3 | Entry Twenty-Four
"Solitude isn't supposed to feel this loud, this full of echoes where another voice used to be." I thought choosing to be alone would feel peaceful. Like some kind of spiritual retreat where I'd light candles, journal, and feel deeply connected to myself in all the ways I couldn't when I was reaching toward someone else. But mostly, it just feels... strange. I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I notice is how quiet it is. No one to text good morning to. No plans for
Chapter 2 | Entry Twenty-Three
"Sometimes clarity doesn't arrive as an answer. It arrives as a question you're finally ready to ask." We texted back and forth a bit. Not immediately, I let myself sit with each message, feeling the pull, noticing the warmth that spread through my chest when I saw his name on my screen. But I did text back. Something simple. Something true. And in the exchange that followed; just a few messages, nothing heavy, nothing that asked for more than either of us could give, I felt
Chapter 2 | Entry Twenty-Two
"The sun doesn't ask permission to rise. It just does. And the whole world turns toward it anyway." My phone lit up this afternoon while I was folding laundry. Just a text. Simple. Nothing earth-shattering on the surface. "Hey. Thinking about you. Hope you're doing well." And my body knew before my mind did. That immediate warmth that blooms in the center of my chest, and spreads outward like someone lit a match inside me. It moves up into my throat, down through my body, rad
Chapter 2 | Entry Twenty-One
"The tide doesn't apologize for coming in. The wave doesn't explain why it recedes. They just move. And somehow, that's enough." Moon, I'm learning that feelings move like water. Some days, I wake up and there's this fullness in my chest, this aliveness that rises up so strong I can barely breathe around it. Other days my chest feels all mixed up like it's spinning. It's not sadness exactly, and it's not longing, though those are woven through it. It's just...feeling. A deep,
Chapter 2 | Entry Twenty
"Presence isn't a destination. It's the choice to stay when your mind wants to float away." Moon, I know the feeling is mine to hold. But I didn't realize how much work it would take to stay present with it. The more I pay attention to what I need, the more I realize how often I'm not actually here to feel it. This morning at work, I was in a meeting, one of those long ones where I'd usually drift into a daydream, half-listening while my mind wandered to other places, other p
Chapter 2 | Entry Nineteen
"You don't discover what you need by thinking harder. You discover it by living softer." I'm starting to notice things. Small things. Quiet things. Things I've never paid attention to before because I was too busy cycling through conversations and coffee dates and small misalignments, juggling profiles and first meetings and the exhausting churn of trying to find someone in a sea of almost-but-not-quite. This morning, I was sitting on the back patio with my grandpa. Early lig
Chapter 2 | Entry Eighteen
"Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop searching and start listening." I'm standing at my mom's kitchen sink, washing the dishes after baking, the warmth of the water on my hands and the sweetness of fresh cookies still in the air, when I realize something. I'm done. Not in a defeated way. Not in a giving-up way. But in a clear, quiet, necessary way. I'm done dating. I'm done with the swiping. The endless scroll of faces that blur together. The way my thumb moves aut
Chapter 2 | Entry Seventeen
"Maybe the work isn't learning to let go of the dream. Maybe it's learning how to hold it without floating away." I woke up this morning with my body still humming. Still carrying the ghost of what I let myself imagine last night, his hands on my skin, his mouth on my lips, the warmth of his breath, the weight of his body over mine, the way it would feel to be loved by him that completely. I let myself go there. All the way there. And now I'm tender. Exposed. Like I peeled ba
Chapter 2 | Entry Sixteen
The idea of being loved by someone so fully, so completely, that you feel it deep in your bones. That you carry it with you. That even if nothing else ever happens between you, you know, you KNOW, what it feels like to be loved by them.
I close my eyes and let myself see it...
Chapter 2 | Entry Fifteen
"Some people reset the standard for everyone else, not because they were perfect, but because they showed you what it feels like when your whole body says yes." I'm sitting in my car outside my house, engine off, hands still on the steering wheel. The wine bottle he gave me is in the passenger seat, the glass catching the glow from the streetlight above. Through the windshield, I can see the warm light from my living room window that I left on, the familiar shape of home wait
Chapter 2 | Entry Fourteen
"You can't choose chemistry the way you choose a paint color or a route home. The body knows what it knows." He texted me on a random Tuesday and asked if he could take me somewhere special. I said yes, curious. He chose the winery, the one with the courtyard that feels like you've stepped into another country. Stone walls covered in ivy, wrought iron tables scattered beneath market lights, a fountain in the center that catches the late afternoon sun and turns the water gold.
Chapter 2 | Entry Thirteen
"Hope is a strange thing, it makes you believe that this time will be different, even when the script feels familiar." We met at the country club. He suggested it, said he's a member, that the patio overlooking the golf course is beautiful at sunset. And he was right. The light was golden and soft, spilling across the perfectly manicured greens, and the air smelled like fresh-cut grass and expensive cologne. He was already there when I arrived, sitting at a table near the edg
Meet Me Here
The Heart of This Space
It's so good to have you here.
Whispers to the Moon lives in the space where imagination, memory, dreams, and real life meet.
​
Some entries are born from moments that happened exactly as remembered.
Others emerge from dreams, emotions, questions, or possibilities that never unfolded outside the page.
​
Together, they create something deeper than autobiography and more personal than fiction.
This journal explores longing, desire, grief, hope, becoming, and the quiet journey of learning to trust yourself.
​
The entries move freely between what was, what might have been, and what the heart is still learning to understand.
Because emotions rarely arrive in neat chronological order.
​
​​​
​
A memory can surface years later and feel brand new. A dream can reveal a truth that waking life has not yet found words for. A simple moment can hold an entire season of becoming.
​
These pages are not meant to provide answers. They are meant to create recognition.
​
A reminder that you are not alone in what you feel.
​
If you've ever found yourself standing between who you were and who you are becoming, you may find pieces of yourself here.
Welcome.
​
Take what speaks to you.
Leave what doesn't.
Come back when the moon calls you home.
🌙
