everytime i have a significant milestone in my career, my body fails me.
my workshop. my mentorship program. and now, my upcoming gathering.
how much water do you need to take to drown whatever's pulling you under? i can put up a fight, man, but this is just exhausting.

it's one of those sleepless nights again but this time i'm thankful to feel the slightest bit less alone. @sierrademulder's Ephemera kept me company from dusk 'till dawn...and it's been quite a while since i found a book that my soul felt akin to. 💛 thank you, really...

Mad Honey by @jodipicoult and @JennyBoylan drove me mad with the power and the fluency of their writing. I finished the book and now have no idea what to do with the rest of my life.
Make some Hope Cakes, maybe?
