✍🏻 new year's
my partner and i spent new year’s eve in brooklyn with a friend we met years ago via world of warcraft. most of the days spent there were in a state of pure cozy—thick, warm socks, soft pants, and warm sweaters were the “dress code”—and it was the nourishment i needed.
the “to be loved is to be known” quote kept running through my head this week. the other night, there was a eureka moment while sitting on my friend’s couch, and it finally clicked. in those moments being known feels like a wide, open space has opened within myself, in the person, and in the room around me, and anything i say will only be met with kindness, curiosity, and compassion. in those moments, i feel the safest and bravest i’ve ever been.
