ATLAS// in the crevice of love.
My legs don’t walk anymore, I say, breathing in the first sip of my eight o’clock blend. & you are here, all preceding eye contact your latest regret, as you try to cover the nervous look in your eyes. Because when you rumped your fist against my door, I was the one who stood on […]

ATLAS// burning cities.
…the valley of achor will be a place to pasture herds. | ISAIAH 65:10 I read the prophetic words as they lift off the page & take the form of all too many faces. Friends. Family. Acquaintances. Myself. I recall times when I was there, in the sinking waters. Times like yesterday when the waters […]

ATLAS// always enough.
Sometimes it feels like I’m driving in circles. The moment when you & her were trying to be big girls, taking your first road trip driving to a place you didn’t know.

ATLAS// rescued.
written by Morgan Baker “Broken, ugly, alone, invisible, rejected, never enough.” Any of these words ring a bell? How about questions, statements, thoughts… “Will I ever be enough? Will this pain ever go away? Why doesn’t he love me? Will anyone ever love me? I am worthless, talentless, and insignificant. My life is meaningless; I […]

ATLAS// pride.
Hi, I’m Nicole! (but you can call me Prideful.) Over the past two years, I’ve done some incredible things. I interned for my favorite nonprofit, I lived in my favorite city for almost a year, I made some of the best friends I could have ever wanted, I moved to the country that stole my […]

ATLAS// it is finished.
written by Paige Baker The future scares me. School, friends, finding someone to be with, and making sure that all of these choices are the right ones for us. Do I belong here? Will this be my niche? It can get pretty scary if we do not have things aligned in the right order. “Therefore, […]
