= Love Notes =
Hello lovelies. It's been a heck of a while. Every time I try to catch up, life decides to hamstring me again-- but you know what? That's normal. Life is chaotic, and we continue to see the world changing around us, not always for the best. I'm not around much right now, but I still see so many of you on IG or random notifications across the socials still doing such wonderful things.
Whether that's fighting for change, advocating for those who can't advocate for themselves, spreading joy and sharing in the struggles of our crewmates, or creating light through craft, word, or art even on the darkest days.
When life throws more at you, please remember lovelies that you are doing all you can, and you should be proud of that. There are those who will tell you you're not enough, that you should always do more-- but you know yourself best. You know your limits, even if the world has tricked you into thinking you don't.
You are light, and love, and kindness and even when it doesn't feel like it, you are doing your best.
Sending you so much love, hope to see you more often soon <3
