Hey loves. Just checking in.
I’ve been moving through my days with a lot on my heart and mind lately… trying to stay grounded while also staying awake to what’s happening around us. Some moments I feel steady and hopeful. Other moments I feel heavy, emotional, and deeply protective of our communities. I know so many of you are holding the same mix of feelings. It’s a lot to witness, a lot to care about, and a lot to carry.
If your heart feels tender, if your patience feels thin, if your spirit feels tired but still fighting, I see you. Especially my Q***r, Immigrant, First-gen, and marginalized fam. Loving our people in times like this takes courage. Staying connected to your values takes intention. Choosing not to numb out or look away takes strength.
I’m doing my best to stay rooted in what matters: showing up with integrity, staying in community, finding small pockets of joy where I can, and letting myself feel instead of rushing past it. Not every day looks graceful, some days just look honest. And that’s enough.
Just wanted to remind you that you’re not moving through this season alone. Your feelings make sense. Your care matters. Your presence matters. Sending love to each of you today. 🤍
