Thanks to a beautiful reader, who I wrote this poem for, here's something you need to remember: love is here, even still. Even though {fill in the blank} happened or is happening, love is my name and my truth. And it's yours. It's here, now, always, and the only thing that's lost is your memory of it.

What would it look like to be there for yourself? It might look like showing up for the heartache with a little more love than you’re used to giving yourself. It could sound like a sigh of relief after you’ve said “I think I might be enough.” Whatever it means, these poems are reminders that you’re not on your own.

Love inevitably leads back to love. That usually (probably always) means that sorrow is going to get thrown into the mix. Love, however, doesn’t stop. It may seem like it stops, but it morphs and flows; it’s powerful, eternal like that. This small collection of grief poetry is a reminder that “again” happens too.

I wrote a poem for my best friend for her 30th birthday this year and wanted to share it with you in case you wanted to share it with “your person.” Consider it a reminder: beautiful people don’t just exist—they are everywhere. You never know when you’ll run into someone who makes you remember what love really means.

On my birthday, this is my gift to you: 30 grateful thoughts in poetic form. It’s what I most love to write. Please enjoy (that’s my birthday wish). Note: I feel most creative when I'm grateful, and today that creativity came through as this poem. I hope you love it. I hope you love you.

Life doesn’t feel new and beautiful all the time. These poems about self-worth speak to that journey: it’s yours, after all. You’re here. That’s incredible enough. And that’s all the proof you need to start becoming the person you most want to be.

More than a simple self-acceptance poem, these words speak worlds if you know  what it feels like to stray from your own wild heart. Your heart, when it's in pieces and conflict. Read this poem if you're craving the sense of wholeness that only comes when you return to yourself.

Don’t take life for granted (because it’s kind of a miracle). Instead, go deeper into the miracle of being alive. Be here, now, fully and with purpose. Read these notes to inspire how you take your next breath and treat the next moment. When you shine your appreciation on what you love, the whole world as you see it will shine brighter.

A short love poem for your self is always in season. Almost nothing feels as good as coming back home… as being found. Read these self-love poems to help you get back home, back to heart, back to yourself. It's the best place to be.

“See me.” It’s a call for acknowledgment, compassion, and validation. Those are gifts that every human being needs to give and receive for strong, healthy relationships. Read these short poems to help you appreciate the present moment, and the people here with you.
