“The Least of These” Were Never Someone Else.

Maybe the poor aren’t “always with us.” Maybe we just keep building systems that make it so.

The real work isn’t saving anyone — it’s remembering proximity makes us human.

I wrote this earlier this year—when the world already felt like it was breaking.
Now, those cracks have widened.
Maybe “not knowing where to start” is exactly where we begin.

The magic I was taught to fear was never outside of me. It was my connection, my power, my hope.

✨ New writing on faith, survival, and reclaiming magic.

Realizing that faith does not sustain your hope, but the dissipation of that faith can create the clearing to see the hope has always been inside of you.

I’m still learning that healing doesn’t always mean removing every trace…

This piece is rooted in memory, survival, and growth that’s both mine and inherited.

For anyone carrying what they’ve already let go of—this is for you.

"Not knowing where to start does not mean we are incapable of moving forward. I believe uncertainty can be a beacon that draws us into community.”
