With a lineage that stretches over 500 million years, the Palau nautilus is a truly ancient ocean dweller. These cephalopods, who are found nowhere else on earth and are closely related to octopus and squid, live inside a beautiful white shell with tiger stripes. @NG_PristineSeas

2/2 A letter seems like such a little thing. But I instantly remembered that I have folks in my life who want to show up & show love. Even if it's in the form of a letter (or a bi-annual text message). I have people who get me. Feelin' very lucky. Now I send my luck & love to you

[ashanti 🇵🇼 @scab_z]

1/2 Had a cry this morning because I was feeling deeply misunderstood... by someone who isnt even in my life right now! I was upset & then I began to get into those thought tunnels that wedge themselves into our minds.

ex. "No one actually knows me!"

But then... I got mail.
