I’ve spent decades circling a truth I carried since childhood.
The earth raised me.
The old ways lived under my skin long before I had words for them.
My new piece is a return to that ancient thread woven through every version of me.

Your mess isn't a flaw, it's a sign you've been living. Healing is lopsided, nonlinear, and often strange. Let yourself belong to the version of you that hasn't figured it all out yet. #lovenotes

You don't owe anyone access to your inner world just because they ask. Boundaries aren't walls, they're clarity. You get to decide what you share, when, and with whom. #lovenotes

Some days you'll feel like a burden for simply needing rest, reassurance, or space. That doesn't make you one. Your needs are not up for negotiation. You don't have to earn gentleness. #lovenotes

Today, we honor the lives of transgender people lost to hatred and violence. We remember their names, their stories, and their beauty. May we create a world where their safety is not a question and their existence is celebrated as sacred. Light a candle. Speak a name. Let remembrance become action.

Sitting vigil with someone who is dying isn’t about last words or grand moments. It’s breath. It’s presence. It’s letting silence settle without trying to fix it.
