I'm cutting down the crime scene tape,
pulling the sheets off all of the mirrors,
Everyone loves a tortured poet,
So I guess it's time you finally meet her.
Vulnerability is gaining popularity
alongside authenticity
so welcome to my savage, raw, & ruthless
shades of crazy.
I'm unlocking every hidden compartment
a proud member of the tortured poets department.

Volcanic, Verdant, and Very You
Let’s get one thing straight: Peridot isn’t just a gemstone. It’s a whole mood. The color of envy, abundance, grass-stained knees, summer’s last laugh, and the green spark of magic that lives under your skin when no one’s looking. Which makes it a perfect prompt for August - that bittersweet threshold between peak heat and first harvest, where we start turning inward while still dripping with sweat and sunscreen.
