“The practice of recognizing wants and where they led brought me to realizing (once again, lovable fool) that I can’t keep being a nice girl at the sacrifice to being true to myself.” YES.

Love you so much, fool.

I am reading this for the second time now and know I will return to your words time and again to unearth more wisdom. Thank you for lighting the way. 💛

FOOLS FOREVAH! I think of the ways I mistreated myself by not allowing beginnings, not knowing mistakes are such a part of the ways we are, that repair and amends can create entire pathways of reconnection. Glad to be in this life with you, Kathryn.

Also, re the title of this post, I wanted the Stones Song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" to be the first dance at our wedding because it was so true of our stories of connecting, as well as being such a beautiful song. XOOX

It's def a song of an era. This was the only album my dad ever bought me, brought it home from a trip. I was 12 I think?
