Butterflies Rising Quotes

“some ways i’m made of magic… i'm passionate & creative… i'm a dancer & a writer, and i spill out all my feelings into both of those things. i'm adventurous & spontaneous… maybe sometimes a little bit reckless… but i can also be really brave, and i also dream really big. i love being a good friend… i'm supportive & loyal & can hold space for any version of them. and i'm silly & fun & i’m up for anything. and i love my friends sooo much and so deeply… like soulmates. …and i think all of those things make me kind of magical”

“my friends & i have always felt sad about how, as girls, it's not safe for us to take late-night walks… when all we wanna do is go look at the moon. but a few nights ago, a woman left the earth, on her way to be the first woman to go to the moon, in a rocket named after a goddess… and the moon was pink that night… and it felt like being told to keep reaching for a better world… one where we're so free to take walks under the moon that we feel like we could touch it.”

“it's Sexual Assault Awareness Month… and it crashes into us with the news of millions of views of some type of “online rape academy,” and at first, we feel rage. but then… we feel not so surprised at all. and it's because we've already known too many versions of this… and it feels common… and what actually feels foreign is to even consider a world where SA is just terrible and rare. and so i try to imagine it… like what if we could have that world? but then i feel more rage… because i don't want to just imagine it, i want it to be real. i want to live in a world where the horrible things that we've accepted as common could only ever be terrible and rare.”

“what we run from or push away, the “you can't hurt me if i hurt you firsts”… not letting it come to us because it's just too good to be true… or when it does, we can't let it be here because it's just too beautiful to stay… or trying to grip it and control it when all we really need to do to hold it is let it dance in our fingertips instead of suffocating it away. i think that thing we do as a defense when we're scared of losing something is often why we end up losing things. and maybe letting the beautiful things belong here… is just in seeing that our fear is what doesn't belong here.”

“why else would you have been given this soft and tender heart if you weren't meant to make it softer here for other tender hearts… the way you feel so much helps someone else who feels so much… feel less alone. why else would you have been given this poetry heart that loves true and deep and beautifully wild if you weren't meant to be loved true and deep and beautifully wild, and to be kissed like wildfire by someone who sees you as art. why else would you have been given this wildflower energy if you weren't meant to run free in the sunlight and get drunk on the moonlight and be kissed by the starlight… there's a world outside and you need it in your veins. why else would you have been given this passionate ache inside for it if you weren't meant to know it and tangibly hold it…. dreams are dreams on purpose. aches are in us on purpose. your heart reaches for it on purpose… and because your soul remembers it. i just don't think the universe is making mistakes with our hearts and souls… so why else love if not to feel stars exploding in our veins… because why else are we here if not to live with unreasonable passion for things.”

“i don't think we're taught enough how much energy matters in connection and to listen to our intuition… we’re told what we feel isn’t “real.” but the physical or just actions or words; not one of those things alone can tell us everything. and so i listen to the way things feel… i listen when something doesn’t feel right. but then… i also love in energy because i don't think anything could be more real.”

“i’ve had poems pull me out from the darkest places i've ever been in. like scripture. and music… i could probably write an entire book just about the ways that music has shifted me and changed me and moved me and saved me. like gospel. so when i say that “poetry is my scripture” and “music is my gospel,” i am saying that there are poems and songs that are carrying my soul from one breath to the next in this life.”

“it's maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it “suspension.” it's when a connection creates an energy between you and another person or a group of people… and that conversation or that night or that experience or that moment you're in with them just becomes all there is, and you just lose time together. the way that energy can just feel infinite… i'm pretty sure it's some kind of magic.”

“In December (after Taylor Swift)… i will make a wish for the world around me to shimmer, for my wildest dreams to fall around me like glitter, and for peace of mind to settle in and exile all my fears away. and in winter's lavender haze, i will just breathe in the air and say, “life, please show me such beautiful things.” and in the midnight's falling rain, i will look to the sky and pray that i can let myself deserve really beautiful things. and on my most delicate and dark days, i will close my eyes and say… “i am a beautiful thing.”

“2025 is the year you can no longer stay small. and it's ok to take small steps and deep breaths, love, but you also have to learn to take up your own space. and to not say you're sorry when you do. and you're going to be rejected for these wings you're growing and these fires you're starting… but these are such. beautiful. things. they are a sweet and wild rebellion in you. and you have to keep choosing you. because nothing will matter if you reject you. so if something needs you small… you just can't let it hold you still anymore.”
