Hi, I’m Caitlin.

This site is a collection of moments, thoughts, and truths I’ve tried to catch before they slip away.

I write about being human,

the beauty, the heartbreak, and the in-between.

Some days I’m steady, other days I’m unraveling, but every word here is real.

Welcome to my corner of words and wonder.

Stay awhile xo

Aftertaste

I sip the thought of you like a heated tea on a cold almost spring morning burning, but necessary. The thoughts consumed me, and suddenly I could no longer put my tea down. I found myself in a spiral of all the could haves, the should haves, or perhaps even the would haves. I started questioning things again, asking what could all this life stuff actually be about? I bet you think that I never think of you, but the truth is, that I do. And in the moments that I think of you

Glow

Hold on, love Take a moment, breathe. Because yes, the light is slower than the darkness. But still it never forgets its way back to you. Be steady, my darling Every shadow you have survived is proof that you were glowing even when you couldn’t see it. Your sunrise is coming, you have been devoted to your self growth and you have been patient. You have believed in your light and have chosen to always maintain it. Keep breathing. Keep hoping. Because the light is already on i
