She's fighting one hundred million internal battles and dancing two hundred million internal ballets and you would never know it unless you noticed how she's always careful to pirouette over shrapnel.
Genevieve Turkett is bubbly, but not carbonated--a non-renewable resource. She is simultaneously bold and subdued. She's not inflammable, but somehow she's already burning. Genevieve Turkett is your inspiration and you don't even know it; future generations will think she was a goddess and a myth. She is not a myth. She is one thousand true loves.
Genevieve Turkett is sultry like sipping brandy and raw like whisky breath. She forgets to fold her clothes. She forgets to hang up her halo. She is anime Ella Fitzgerald. She loves unconditionally. She's your favorite bed time story in a full scale Broadway production with lyrics by Elton John. She is fairy tales. Genevieve Turkett is open blinds at sunset. Some times you have to remind her to shower. Some times you have to remind her to breathe. She is cluttered and chaotic and collaged beyond recognition. She has to deal with imaginary problems because no one else is willing to address the important issues that exist outside of reality. She is arts and crafts and groceries and kittens in cups. She is one thousand lost loves.

I feel like I'll contaminate this post if I leave a message because it's so perfect already.
But, I agree!
I've never met you and I'm not in your world. You are a magician of words and I am spellbound. I wanted you to know your talent and content give me hope... so much beauty and youth and celebration... I wanted you to know that your writing is appreciated even by strangers across oceans.
I think I've commented once before too, but your writing style once again took my breath away. You have a way with words which I haven't seen anywhere else. You have a gift, a talent for writing. Your writings fill me with awe every time.
I'm so lucky to be your sister. Sounds like you are very lucky to be Genevieve's.
:)
