When I think of patterns in nature, I'm blown away by their beauty. I'm in awe that nature could create something so special.

It keeps us alive, but can also keep us from living.

The words on my mind...

"A glimmer is the exact opposite of a trigger—it is some kind of cue, either internal or external that brings one back to a sense of joy or safety."

What is a story you tell yourself over and over?

When we arrive on this big beautiful planet we are given a hand of cards.

They say home is a state of mind, and while I agree, I think for once, I have a physical home.

But this time, it wasn't international, it wasn't changing countries or cities, it was a move 7 minutes across town.
