there is alot of joy in the house that centers around good food and better friends and nostalgia not even sort of long forgotten

this is something I recognize from the periphery but which makes me very happy nonetheless

and I think of creating spaces in which anyone feels safe to express their joy and insecurities

I think of that little space in the small of your back that lets go and then tingles when it realizes everything is set. everything is settled. sit back. have a drink. you are safe.
