this is so important

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”

— Louise Erdrich, from The Painted Drum (HarperPerennial, 2005)

saturdays at our house

2 weeks with my Juniper girl. My heart grows everyday with her. She is sweet, smart, and the best cuddler. I feel so so so lucky to be her human.

Consistency is a love language. Expressing boundaries with sensitivity is a love language. Honoring a person’s need for alone time is a love language. Acknowledging the risk it took someone to share their vulnerability is a love language. Tolerating and validating a different perspective is a love language. Learning to manage our projections and expectations is a love language.
