when i graduated high school, my favorite teacher, who i’ve continued to stay very close with, gifted me a collection of mary oliver’s poems that she had annotated. it’s one of the most special things i own to this day. when i first opened it to wild geese, i just cried and cried and didn’t stop crying for a while. it’s such a beautiful poem, and it’s a reminder i need to hear very often.

Probably my favourite poem of all time and hearing her recite it is magical.

i feel like we are so conditioned to take the easiest route, the most optimal or most operational to the point that we forget doing things is about LEARNING to do things and idk if it’s just me but. learning is lowkey awesome and underrated. so. get consumed by something. get inspired by people. and do something. learn something fully!!!

i have learned that, felt in its deepest moments—love exists loudest when we give it permission to evade us. within that evasion, an admiration, an appreciation—a feeling of true, honest, vulnerable, raw love—emerges.
maybe this is why we love people the most when we are separated.
maybe that’s why we love those most in a moment of grief.
maybe that’s why we love our children and inner child the most when they grow up.
but when we prevent it—when we prevent ourselves from loss we not only prevent ourselves from finding love but from love finding us.
just some thoughts
