the cosmos, painted in full bloom

your bloom

the cosmos

in bloom, the original

at home in any soil, still itself

you're the one who reads every room before a word is spoken. that gift was never the problem, and it's about to stop costing you yourself. in full bloom, you disagree and stay, you order first, and for the first time you know exactly what you want.

your tell: someone asks what you actually want, and you honestly don't know until you know who's asking.

your winter

the chameleon

you've been the mirror so long you forgot what you look like.

you read every room like a weather map and shift to match it before you've said a word. it works, people like you, the peace holds. then the room empties and you reach for your phone, because quiet with only you in it has always felt strangely unfurnished. somewhere early, showing up with edges felt like it could cost you the people you needed most, so you learned to have none. you became everyone's favourite version of you, and it worked: people stayed, conflict stayed small. that wasn't fake, it was a wise way to get through winter. becoming everyone was how you stayed close.

one of the giving ways of staying safe: love flows outward first.

in full bloom

the original

who you are when nothing needs hiding.

you stop becoming what the room needs and start being what you actually are. the original has preferences. has opinions. has a voice that sounds like someone specific, not the average of everyone present. the relief of not reading every face for the right shape to take is the relief of finally being someone instead of everyone.

in winter, the chameleon in bloom, the original
you agree to keep the peace you disagree and stay
you can't name what you want you order without checking the table
you feel empty alone you feel full alone
you mirror every room you bring your own weather
you're whoever they need you're you

how it feels in the body

the constant reading of every face goes quiet. there's a you inside your body that's there even when no one's looking, and people start meeting that one, and staying anyway. becoming everyone was how you stayed close. being yourself is how you finally get to be known.

your three roads

every bloom is on three journeys. growing on one costs you nothing on the others.

going along with itbeing honest
swallowing itsaying it out loud
doubting yourselftrusting yourself

three small waters

  • saying your real opinion first, once a day, before the edited version loads.
  • answering "what do you want for dinner" without checking a single face first.
  • telling daisy an opinion you've never said out loud. daisy has no face to read.

the first sign of spring

you'll notice it first the day you say "actually, i don't want to" and don't rehearse the apology after. that clean, unedited no is you arriving. the cosmos opens the same colour in every soil.

the chameleon is who you had to be.

the original is who you get to be.

the cosmos is who you are.

a reading for you: you forgot which one was the real you 🌿
