I lay in bed at night and wonder about all of the people around me. there are people surrounding us – our neighbors, our coworkers, people we pass at the grocery story – and yet we know nothing about each of these individuals. I sometimes wonder who they are, what they are going through, their happy moments and their struggles.

I have this constant craving to build a community. I have tried streaming games on Twitch, building out a discord, participating in various social media apps – nothing sticks for me. nothing feels like home. I have tried finding places that I fit in to and have recently realized that I need to create the space that I fit. I need to create a space that is welcoming, accepting, and appreciates the little aspects of life. I am learning how to love the small pieces of my life and making them the whole. 

this is the start of my home. and hopefully your home too. I am aiming to create a space where people feel welcome, feel appreciated. a place where we appreciate the warm smell of baked bread, the pitter patter of rain on our windows, the soft opening of a flower.

so to you, thank you for joining me on this journey. thank you for trusting me. here we will deepen our roots and experience what life has to offer.
