This is a rose soy candle that I bought in France. Itās pink and itās 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 candleās pretty metal and ceramic cup will help me keep everything Iāve mourned alive. Because the candle is so small, each time I burn it itās very special.

Finally lighting the candle youāve 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.

Well I guess Iām my motherās 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
