This is a rose soy candle that I bought in France. Itā€™s pink and itā€™s small. Every time I burn it, I use those moments to mourn something until the wax has melted evenly. When my cat died, I lit it for about seven minutes and used that moment to let him pass. But even on New Years Eve a few years back, it felt right to let go of the year that way. While the flame and the melting wax helps me let go, using the candleā€™s pretty metal and ceramic cup will help me keep everything Iā€™ve mourned alive. Because the candle is so small, each time I burn it itā€˜s very special.

Finally lighting the candle youā€™ve held onto because it smelled so good that you wanted to keep it forever but then lost it; reunited a few years later. Just to light it in your new apartment.

My candle, the one I use to connect with my spirits, melted like this... what do you think it means?

Well I guess Iā€™m my motherā€™s child because I now have a candle I never plan on burning. It feels so defiant. The fairy candle is my friend now. I will age, but she will not
