coffee and cameras

There is so much I want to put into words right now, but I make up that it will be impossible to accurately describe how I feel. Expressing my gratitude for this past week is something I could do in a hug, but not with a keyboard or conversation. There’s too much love in it to be downgraded to two-dimensional text. I will try.

This has been the most incredible summer, and this is by far the best month ever.

I’ve learned (and continue to practice) patience, self-love, unconditional love, kindness, yoga, surfing, among other things. I’ve gotten my ass kicked by unrequited love, loneliness, my ego, my fears, and the ocean. Facing these and letting go made me stronger.

I’ve learned to be transparent, open, and honest. There is a boy I think about every day. I wish that he continues to do what’s best for him, and if it ends up including me, then that’s just a super bonus.

May you all be open with your hearts, face your fears, follow your joy, and always be kind.
