February

As with most big changes, heartbreak was the solidifying catalyst to create this blog.

I wanted him to be this beautiful experience where we created art together. My big old Libra heart fantasized about the potential of the relationship. The reality was that the things I loved most about him and our relationship were the things I brought to the table. Once the big emotions subsided, I realized that my life was still full of the same creativity and richness.

I’ve been brought flowers. I’ve bought people flowers. I’ve been written letters. I started writing letters again. I’ve been held while I’ve cried. I’ve had my pimples popped. I’ve danced more carelessly. I’ve seen more live music. I’ve tried new foods. I’ve asked more silly questions. I’ve spent more time learning. I’ve hosted more parties.

There’s something so simple and human about sharing meals.

I am feeling contagiously human.

These are some of the songs and versions that have made me feel most human again. The moments that I cling to and hope that life is kind of worth living sometimes. Windows down, music blasting, and screaming the lyrics with people who mean so much to me. That there can be really genuine and good moments in all of the chaos and mundane.

This blog is an overflow of humanity and creativity in my life. I want to create a little haven, a space on the Internet and in my life where I can connect with people and share stories as I am rediscovering this excitement for life. A place of raw connectivity and creative exploration. My goal in all the work that I do is to create space for people to be authentically themselves and to experience the fullness of life. After a collectively traumatizing a few years and some deep persona struggles with depression and addiction, I feel like I have learned so much. I have learned to cultivate a space of healing and gratitude despite all of that, at such an abundance I don’t know where else to share it but the void. So welcome, kick off your shoes and turn it up.

All the love,
