the universe has a crazy way of working out and right now i need to just trust that

over coffee with my mom this morning: “sometimes we hesitate to invite people into our life because we feel like our space isn’t good enough yet. things are a little messy, or our place settings don’t match, or our situation isn’t quite what we want it to be. don’t let that stop you. invite people in anyway.”

It’s so weird thinking back to when you first met someone and that moment you had no idea they would have such a big impact on you

hydrangeas from the farmers market + a book i found on my desk this morning, written by my buddhist monk (/field biologist) friend.

4km run in 35 minutes !

I woke up around 5:45 a.m., went running straight away under the cloudy sky and it was really nice 😄

Then I got home, cooked myself some chocolate banana oatmeal and read a book as I ate my breakfast! Slow mornings are my favorites!

I am rediscovering the meaning of what it means to be happy.

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.
