I’ve been exploring a variety of relationships in therapy lately - relationship to self, romantic relationships, familial relationships, platonic relationships. I spend a lot of time alone, often intentionally. In fact, my therapist and I have been exploring what it is to intentionally choose solitude. There’s so much to be learned in solitude. There’s also a great deal to be learned in relationship with other people.

In solitude I find myself in creation - writing, sewing, watercoloring, making bread, processing emotions and experiences through music. And I’m working on finding a balance of time on my own, and exploring new community and social events. Just yesterday I hosted a zine making workshop and felt such a swell of pride and gratitude for hosting an event for folks to come together and create.
