I absolutely love the meta-awareness of this piece. I'm particularly fascinated by the lines "I also fly. I collect Scottie dogs. I stand up for myself. I find lust and love. I’m glowing and grateful and orgasming, and free." I love the way you mix the significant and supernatural with the insignificant and natural. Thanks for sharing, Maddie. I'm inspired to be more wild!

Thank you Eliza 🥹 I sometimes have a hard time remembering the more beautiful dreams I have because it’s easy to remember the nightmares. I honestly feel like that’s true for life as well. It’s easier to remember the hard times, but there’s also so much beauty.
