Banana bread toasted with butter goes so well with journaling on the back patio of a café. (at Julie's) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRvfy-Drhk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e1ignwk5fjvn

I HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH FATPHOBES EVERY FUCKING DAY.

This beautifully illustrates the abusive tactic of using the “thats just how I am” tactic, and the abusive lie of “just being honest”.

Bittersweet hot chocolate 🍫 and a good book 📚 go so well together. And I bought the book from an old fashioned brick & mortar shop in my neighborhood! So happy to support them.

“If we believe that love is weakness? And people resent it, because they think it’s an admission of weakness, they draw away from it… and that’s why you kill the thing you love, because it’s your weakness personified. If you kill it, you will kill your weakness before it kills you.” From “The Recognitions” - William Gaddis, Page 464 . I actually don’t believe loving is weak. In fact I believe that loving is courageous because I know it includes being hurt. But I don’t let my fear of being hurt stop me from loving. And I’m not fearless either. But I am courageous because even though I don’t want to be hurt, I love big, knowing I will get hurt. It’s my super power. I’m a love warrior and I fly around dropping Love bombs 💗💣. . #prioritizeyourpleasure #sexcoach #lovebomb (at Dose Café and Dram Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpVMEOFsSh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwrd039qujr3

I asked for the sunset 🌅 and @allegracsanyi nailed it. Now I'm ridiculously happy and ready for my sunset date which will be a walk along the Bay with SF in the background. I know I'm a lucky lady! (at Fig & clover)

From the bedroom. After Pollock died, Lee grieved heavily but eventually had the twin beds replaced with a queen. Myrna, our tour guide, felt that the twin beds were due to Pollocks drinking. Lee eventually had a lover who painted her portrait which can be seen in the last photo here. (at Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center)

The plants in the Pollock-Krasner house are from cuttings of their original plants. Lee didn't want to have too much "stuff." She was very frugal and preferred a few nice things. This also allowed them to focus on their art. (at Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center)

Lovely day at the beach with my boys. @max_wilson60 knows how to capture me the best. (at Nickerson Beach West End Cabanas)
