  Polaroids of a Lighthouse

  I admit I’m not the same women in the Polaroids anymore. I had to change to survive. To hold onto to the light that I thought had died. I spent time fighting to survive. Every note I sung off-key. Every quit moment full of contemplation and maybes. I still fill up with thoughts or you.…

  Short Thought: Self Worth

  When people don’t value you. It’s best to remove yourself from their life. Respect is a two way street. Reciprocity matters more than a connection that reduces your self worth. Love always, Esha <3
