We all know how it goes The more it hurts, the less it shows But I still feel like they all know And that’s why I could never go back home

I trust in him. I trust in his ever-living flesh.

I trust in his blood. I feel it flow from my lips into the empty pit in my stomach.

I trust him to fill me.

I trust in HIM.

i've been saving up to buy new perfume but i can't find any that's close enough to what i'm looking for. i want to find a fragrance that smells like humidity, spanish moss, old dusty rotting wood, church incense, tobacco, floral, vanilla, dark earthy type scent. kinda smells like the pictures, like an old church basement in the summer. if anyone has any recommendations at all please let me know, thank you :)

Something so calm about being here with not a care in the world, moving through the back parts of the woods and photographing all the beautiful things I come across 👼🏻

Happy Indigenous People’s Day 🖤🪶🧡

I’ve been reconnecting to my Indigenous culture the last few years and I am so happy to feel as though I finally found where I belong and feel a sense of wholeness and closeness to my roots and existence in its entirety. So this year, for Indigenous People’s Day I wanted to compile lists for everyone to use and share. Please, support Indigenous People’s Day by boosting Indigenous Voices.

Here are some ways you can celebrate Indigenous People’s Day (For us Natives & our allies)

🪶 Stream Indigenous artists' music, here are a few good playlists I’ve made for this purpose:

Metal:

Decolonization:

Connecting to your ancestors (for me it’s my great grandma):

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/345bJpI2cg9wcYQHWCAixB?si=NNzOUEzCRlGPC1erwkyWbQ&dl_branch=1

🪶 Support Native owned businesses, here’s a list of links to purchase from Native creators:

🪶 Read books by Indigenous authors, some of my favorites: Richard Wagamese, Sherman Alexie, Eric Gansworth, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Erika T. Wurth.

Here’s a link to several Indigenous books:

🪶 Bead or create regalia
