It’s a beautiful thing to experience life so viscerally.

To feel everything. To wear each moment as if it were painted onto my skin.

I don’t know how to be any other way. And I’m learning that, although often misunderstood, it is a gift.

To know an experience from the inside out is to offer someone else the opportunity to be seen in it.

So that’s my prayer - that somewhere, in exploring these stories from my own life,

you would see yourself, and know that there is beauty to be found in your own.
