I have been thinking a lot about little Natalie and all the poems she scrawled in the margins of her school notebooks. she would be so stoked. this manuscript has so much of my heart in it and I cannot wait for it to be out in the world. ❤️🌱

I've written a lot of love poems over the last year and a half, but I think this one is my favourite. here's to the people who bring home with them everywhere they go. & here's to my forever valentine, who is not on twitter (probably better that way). ❤️

to be honest, I've had a very tough year and my boyfriend has been a constant source of care & support and love & if one-year-ago Natalie had known all of this, she would have written an even sappier poem.
