It's already manifested

I realize, when I spend time with those I choose to call family, all I'm wanting isn't too much. a long morning in pajamas. want another coffee? how does a movie and pizza sound later? a night spent crafting, spent one laugh after another or in comfortable silence. board games and snacks. what have you been up to lately? how's your writing coming along? remembered names of coworkers, partners, friends. books or shows or movies or songs we love enough to share with the other. requests for photos after a project reaches its end. when a problem arises, we know we'll answer a call. at the very least, a how are you, often and intentional, where we leave enough space for an honest answer.

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”

“How amazing is it to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.”

“Learn to be alone, and to like it. There’s nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to like your own company.”
