It’s how I learn there are a multitude of ways to say I love you. For so many you don’t have to use words at all.
NIKITA GILLIt’s how I learn there are a multitude of ways to say I love you. For so many you don’t have to use words at all.
NIKITA GILLBut I was brutal and violent in a way they tell women not to be.
NIKITA GILLAnd power, power was so much more important than beauty ever could be.
NIKITA GILLWomanhood is rich with unlearning. How to unlearn the way you hate your body.
NIKITA GILLShe is alone, and oh how brilliantly she burns.
NIKITA GILLMaybe living your truth will not make you happy all the time, but it will make you happy every day.
NIKITA GILLSomedays I am more wolf than woman. And I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.
NIKITA GILLTell them all what they tried to kill came back. Tell them all that I have come home.
NIKITA GILLWhen I was a little girl, I had a friend and sometimes I wondered if he was born on the day the Titanic sank.
NIKITA GILLHow your voice tremors when you speak of loneliness.
NIKITA GILLI am trying to stop being the ashes that you left behind.

NIKITA GILLSofter memories once lived there. Where there is now burning. Where there is now blood.
NIKITA GILLPeople are going to betray you the way Judas betrayed Jesus, the way Brutus betrayed Caesar, and you will love them anyway.
NIKITA GILLThere are graveyards inside you made of people that made you ache, made of memories that you barely survived made of trauma and heartbreak. These graveyards need to become gardens where you plant flowers that blossom, for you to let go.
