I believe 💕

  1. “All of us have special ones who have loved us into being.”

My daily joys

 

Enjoying the simple things with those I love. Life would mean nothing to me without being able to share it with my family, both blood and chosen 💕

Learning new things! My current project is guitar 🎸 My favorite thing about it is that there’s a song for every mood and a new chord to go along with it. My brother is a musician in California, so we enjoy sending our latest videos to each other to keep in touch 🙂

Coffee shop exploring! Coffee is a ritual to share with friends and family, and also a means to meet new people in my community. I love trying new spots, and learning more about the world around me.
