Self-Portrait Through Nature, Part I


I am spent

I am a dying star
seconds from exploding
I am a melancholy rain cloud
spilling over with tears
I am chilled glacial water
rushing with icy emotions
I am the fragile seeds of a Dandelion
hardly hanging on in a storm
I am a lifeless Bleeding Heart
petals perishing in winter

I am decaying



Self-Portrait Through Nature, Part II


I am perilous

I am a reckless avalanche
without signs of slowing
I am a frenzied storm
triggering fits of chaos
I am an eager Ifrita
hazardous for one's health
I am a formidable meteor
surviving the atmosphere
I am the beaming Sun
breaking through murky clouds

I am irrepressible

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
