if there's one thing i have learned from the women before me, it is not to make huge life altering sacrifices for men. They do not deserve such loyalty and commitment
Saw a phrase today that said “anything that requires the consent and cooperation of another person, is not a failure if you don’t accomplish it” and honestly I need to look at things with this perspective
I’m very adamant about not having people around who repeatedly disrupt my nervous system through their lack of care, empathy, and consideration. Get away from me.
The privilege of teaching what I know and the humility of returning, repeatedly, to places where I know nothing. God at the centre of it. Love threaded through all of it.
I know, with increasing precision, what I want my life to contain. Meaningful work. Financial ease. A home that feels expansive and alive. Books everywhere. A table with people around it. Work that travels further than I do. Time to think. Time to write.
