“In any given moment we have two options: To step forward into growth or to step back into safety.”

“I plant roots so deeply in the people I love that I always lose a piece of myself when they go.”

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

“But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.”

“If we are the same person before and after we love, that means we haven’t loved enough.”

I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like “is this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.” Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.
