What’s happening in our world right now is heavy and wrong. We must say it out loud. In moments like this, love becomes an act of resistance.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to hustle, to optimize, and to keep moving forward. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is slow down and listen to the quiet parts of our life.

The worst thing that happens when you ask for something is you don’t get it. And if that’s the worst thing, it’s really not that bad…Being a little delusional means believing you’re capable of something before there’s any evidence to prove it.
