some trees do not survive
because the storm was gentle
they survive
because the roots learned
how to hold

Giraffes in jacuzzis
are exactly as you’d expect
Necks rising above steam
like questions reaching
for stars 🦒✨

we wrestled last night
in every dream
each breath
each tumble
into your arms
falling out
and back in
nothing resolved
but the confusion
continuing
awakening
i pushed you
at arm’s length
again ⬇️
Most people aren't avoiding connection.
They're waiting for permission to reach for it.
Five years ago I moved to a new state knowing almost no one. Little by little, I built little pockets of friendship.
I shared what helped ↓

“If I wanted to, I would”
have been the most freeing words to say to myself.
Trusting my decisions, not second-guessing, and settling into peace. ☮️☀️😎
Because sometimes you want something that lasts —
softens over time, and hugs the side of your foot like a faithful dog.
Cowboy boots worth wearing everywhere.

Fun things to do with your girlfriends:
• Buy each other a book based only on the cover
• Get coffee and listen to a podcast together
• Take a class you’re all bad at on purpose
• Do a one-hour adventure
Low stakes. High memories.

In the 80s, I thought 2026 would have flying cars.
Turns out the future lives in apps, tabs, and reminders.
Apparently this is progress.
