This year has been HARD. I've done lots of good things and had waaay too many days I've wanted to quit and run away. But I'm still here, still showing up and working my ass off to make lives better, including my own, and I'm still fighting with a smile.

Living vicariously through this romantic fantasy of running away from responsibilities, starting a cozy business, and it all working out in the end. Too bad real life can't be more like this. #booksky

Taught the kid some history and money lessons today. They loved it and quality time was achieved!

We're attempting to comfort Siku with a stuffie that smells like her. His eyes may imply he's sus, but he's mostly sus of me since we've been doing some meds lately to help him out haha.

A bit late, but dealing with it a lot today. Day one without her, Siku has been very sad

Just two cuties that got the chance to see AURORA perform in Guangzhou at this incredible performance hall. She's amazing btw. Definitely go give The Seed a listen, or Runaway

Woke up at 4:45am, saw the sunrise while swimming with whale sharks, then went over to this beautiful waterfall that is absolutely what I picture when trying to get to a peaceful place in my mind. Ate delicious mango and some other foods. All in all, a great start to year 35

Breathing life back into my soul with sun and salt.

But what if we kissed by your weird ideals of religious roles?

Happy 4 years Calcie!

Calcie's 1st birthday

The first time we met Calcifer Mad Maddam Mim, such a tiny floof.

Goodness, this has been a long two weeks. Taking some time off with my baby and playing games helps a bit though!

Not even gonna try to set up a perfect picture. Just enjoying my imperfect coffee with my imperfect tree and feeling pretty good about life.
