You start to wonder who you could become if you spent every day taking care of yourself and leaning into the joy. You start to wonder if maybe you never have to go back to the way it was before. You start to wonder what you could accomplish. You start to wonder while embracing the joy you have received and wielding the power you have granted yourself as you explore your options, dreams, and endless possibilities. You start to wonder if sacrificing your joy is worth it.

emotional support
I took him home in his donated pink carrier (since he was too anxious to go home in the standard box), plopped him down in my bathroom, closed the bathroom door, and opened his kennel. I sat with him like that in the bathroom for hours, always respecting the sanctuary of his cage. In all the ways I have and continue to show up for him, Espresso also shows up for me.
memories
It makes me wonder though; what will I forget about my present, my now, years into the future. What is going to stick with me? What will be forgotten? Maybe that’s a lot of the reason why I write. The reason I’m always taking pictures. The reason I try to be grateful for something every day.
lead by example
We are constantly growing, always becoming, and we will forever have people we are looking up to in one area or another. We can be evolving and be the person who opens up other people's awareness of what it means to live our dreams.
honor your limits
Helping others brings us happiness. It shouldn't take it away. Sometimes you have to say no; it might make you feel like an asshole, but you're not. Sometimes it's your job to prioritize you.
we are light
I felt your love and I saw it as a burst of light in the space between us. A light within the deeper dimensions between our essence. I gathered my love within me and then I threw it to you; like a jet taking off into cyberspace. You held me tighter.
