I don't believe that we're meant to find one type

I don't believe that we're meant to find one type of love. In fact, I think there are many types and forms of love that we encounter our whole lives. Some of these 'loves' are bonds that test and strengthen us; some are heartbreak bonds that leave us broken and learning to rebuild. Some are romantic and teach us to grow beyond ourselves. And some are deeper than that — soul friendships.⁣
⁣
And in this type of 'love,' the person sees you—all your good, your bad, your downright ugly, your mistakes and shortcomings, your biggest joys and deepest aches—and says, 'I'm here, always.'⁣
⁣
This is the type of love where you feel seen, heard, found.⁣
⁣
Thank you, to my travel bug, my heart-sister, my adventure buddy, my shoulder, and the human who reminds me who I am when forget. I love you, Lilly. See you soon. 💗⁣

A perfect picture to summarize my motherhood journey — unexpectedly crazy, messy, wonderful, beautiful, challenging, and unique. And, just like we do with the waves, I surrender to this uncharted journey with you, little man. ⁣

Abundantly, eternally grateful for you and this life we've created together. 💙⁣

I hope today is everything you want it to be — a rest, a release, much-needed time off, an afternoon with loved ones, moments of solitude, abundant joy.⁣
⁣
In the holiday rush, in the day-to-day fast pace of life, in the stress around decisions and truths, and as you find your place in the world, remember that despite all of the 'hard' stuff, there is still so much beauty, too. #thanksgiving

'Thankfulness' has taken on a whole new meaning for me this year. ⁣
⁣
Thankfulness looks like walking into a home/classroom of kiddos and seeing their smiling faces. It's being able to do what I love, every single day, and build not only a career but a livelihood out of all the things I'm passionate about. It's getting engaged to a man who is perfectly imperfect. It's spending so many special, precious moments with my kiddo throughout the past two years. It's planning to see family next month — without fear or travel restrictions. It's typing these words at a coffee shop where I am surrounded by other living, breathing humans.⁣
⁣
Thankfulness is the perseverance to move forward, even when everything feels heavy and hard. It's finding people to surround myself with that feel like a community, like family, like love. And it's believing that regardless of what changes or craziness happens, there is still so much joy + good.⁣
⁣
I hope you take a moment this week to reflect, to celebrate, to be humble.⁣
Life is not always beautiful, but it's still so worth living. 💗⁣

We crave connection, yet engage in quick encounter

We crave connection, yet engage in quick encounters.⁣
We want love, but we fall victim to 'situationships.'⁣
We dream of being with the 'right' one, but settle.⁣
⁣
Perhaps we need to shift the way we see intimacy + closeness by honoring ourselves and by treating one another better in the pursuit of what we're all searching for.⁣

I started a podcast back in 2018 that was dedicated to vulnerable + honest conversations: @_thevulnerablitypodcast. Since the launch, I've pushed myself to talk with people of all stories and share on topics that (true to the mission statement!) people 'often shy away from.'⁣

This most recent episode was definitely one of those! ⁣
