This is probably my happiest face: in front of my students. I feel incredibly lucky to wake up knowing I’m doing work that feels meaningful to me and building something I truly care about.

In love with my job.

I placed my phone against this tree to take a photo. I know it well, just like the magnolia in the courtyard. Seasons change, leaves fall and return, years and people pass, while some things stay familiar. I like that kind of constancy. Growth does not mean becoming someone else. I have changed, learned, and understood myself better, but I still know who I am, what I love, what I want, and what I do not want. Love can remain too, even when its hold on us fades. We carry it as part of our story without letting it write the rest. There is a difference between being grounded and being stuck. 🌳

Still think this is crazy. Photos taken one month apart.

Out for my stroll. If you're feeling kinda shitty, take that attitude out to the park and leave it there. Metaphorically.

Best anniversary gift ever 🥹 I’m a fiancé
