i keep thinking about the first time i went snorkeling. we did training in a pool before heading out on the boat, and when we finally got in the water… the coral and fish were unlike anything i’d ever seen. even shallow snorkeling with a mask doesn’t compare—it’s just not as vivid. in a different timeline, with full creative control, one of my skating programs would’ve absolutely been ocean-themed, complete with orchestral music and bedazzled corals on my suit.

doing this super fun secret mission where i’m dropping off bundles of things to neighbors who’ve helped me in past years—most of them don’t even remember, but i do. decluttering with intention. just delivered a big bag of cat toys and it made my heart full.

i love how the pink blossoms, red leaves, and warm brown brick all play off each other - like a color palette made by nature and nostalgia. a little softness, a little strength, and just the right amount of blue sky peeking through.

ran through the greatest hits of the worst things that happened to me while living in a specific geographic region… spared the gruesome ones bc some stories are best left in the vault collecting dust

when the nerve pain flares up and it’s not totally awful, i like to imagine it has a little jazz intro - like a surprise musical number instead of my body betraying me. makes the cue to rest feel a bit more whimsical than cruel! this one’s called “bones be jumping”

someone i know holds so much love and respect for their late partner - i don’t think i’ve ever witnessed anything quite like it. it’s rare, and it stays with you.

Last 100 pics I took on my phone are of babies, seafood, dessert, artwork, and cats

sometimes when i really need to motivate myself, i sing “go bad bitch go bad bitch go” on repeat in my head like a cheer chant… complete with imaginary bass and drums until i get hyped up enough to keep pushing through. whatever works, right?

today i’m letting go of a giant red scarf that’s been with me for 15+ years. it was the only gift on my christmas wishlist during a tough financial year—an oversized hug in fabric form. sad to part with it, but creating a low-tox home means even the sentimental has to go sometimes. thank you for keeping me warm through 3-hour commutes on 3 different modes of transportation. thank you for being around my neck the day i said goodbye. thank you for holding all my tears and being a neck pillow when I felt unsafe. thank you for shielding me when that bus splashed past. thank you for keeping me safe. thank you for being there.

vulnerability. inspired by @mikanewton ‘s post to share a little more openly. there’s a lot shifting in my life right now. emotionally, physically, logistically - it’s been a lot. like wrangling a giant can of worms while making decisions that feel impossibly heavy. what nobody tells you about cancer is how long its shadow lingers. even when you’ve “recovered,” your body remembers. i’ve cycled through it all - pretending i had it handled, feeling hopeful, falling apart again, discovering more issues. and now i’m just… existing in the reality that maybe i won’t get better, and that’s hard to make peace with in a world not built for people like me. i don’t share this looking for pity. i share because i’m trying to live with more softness, more honesty - and in case it helps anyone else feel less alone while they figure out how to keep going, too.

What makes the difference between a good person and a fair person? And who would you rather be?

i keep misreading “morning” as “moving” and thinking people are saying “good moving” instead of “good morning”… and that’s exactly where my brain is at right now.
