Lying with you

I’m not going to lie when I first found out that we were going into isolation I was super stoked. I thought…I NEED THIS. Rest, Time, Yoga, Getting Shit Done! I am way past the point of wanting isolation to continue and haven’t checked anything off my to-do list. In fact I have occupied myself with pretty much everything else other than my to-do list. I'm ok with it though. I’m taking the time to rest, be present and try new things that I probably wouldn’t have “enough time for” if I wasn’t confined to my apartment. I am loving the sense of community online and have been taking advantage of the amazing content that is being shared.

I took part in Rupi Kaur’s first live writing workshop on Instagram and it was beautiful. No thinking or judging, just writing the first thing that came to our mind. She had us choose an inanimate object to write about. We were asked 14 questions and our replies were to be answered from the perspective of that object. Who knew Yoga mats had so many feelings…

Lying with you

A safe space,

Grounded, used,

Rolled out, somewhere hot,

With my human,

Kneeling at the hands and feet of others,

I worry I will be left behind,

Worn out,

I’m sturdy, reliable,

Wondering if they will come to lay with me in the morning,

Held space for sweat and tears,

I crumbled,
