Photos and poetry sent to me by my very cool friend Sarah Kay (@carly_rage_jepsen on Instagram) ! These photos are part of her Castle series, and have a mystical and introspective feeling to them, while her poems discuss subjects of despair and loneliness, yet never losing the hope that underlies them.

I'm thrilled to say that this is a post with photography and poetry by my own friend Ella Jade who has a lovely soul and beautiful art. Her photography was the first thing ever posted on Peach, and I'm happy to present her poetry to everyone for the first time. Please enjoy!

How do you find closure when the person you need closure from was incredibly ingrained in every part of your life? How do you take back something that was yours? How do you find your identity again when you tied it to someone else? Creative Director Maddy Hart tries to answer these questions through poetry in our final closure themed post (for now, at least.)

"This is the last love poem I think I'll ever write you, for now." A second closure piece by Ashley High about letting go.

What does the search for closure feel like? Stephane Mohr explores this in her poem, Ending the Search For Closure as part of our closure submission prompt
