I’ve been kinda loving life lately. Usually, the summer season doesn't bring about much joy but this year it's different. All the anniversaries and firsts without my mom all take place in the winter, spring & fall. This is truly the only pocket of time where nothing is making me cry. Do I have my moments? Absolutely. In fact, there was a night already this week when Armand had to just stand there and hug me.

It's always good to remember that healing isn't linear. It's my favorite saying for the year. It's true. It's been fun to get to know new friends (hi @veravixeness!!!), see old ones and just be a person. Life lately has been. Beautiful. I'm soaking it all up because fall/winter hit I'm sure to be a mess and no good to anyone.

I need a beach day. Let's go to the beach. ☼☼☼
