“Some of us are trying to build the next version of our lives while carrying wounds our parents didn’t even have the language for.
Some of us are learning to rest, to feel, to rage, to choose differently.
And some of us are breaking cycles our younger selves didn’t get the chance to break.
And…that could be all of you, too.
Healing becomes a revolution when we do it together because healed people heal people.”

@les
thoughts this am:
- can’t wait for ai to start helping humans create more spontaneity (auto-decision)
- Neynar bot really is one of the best-in-class
- mountains and desert really making you feel something different than water and ocean
…damn had way more and parenting stuck a stick in my wheel, this was a last ditch effort to try and capture them…
