i had to say goodbye to my best friend this morning, my charles emmett lickens, my little bubs. he was always within five feet of me, almost every day of his life, and i couldn’t have asked for a better companion through the last eleven years. this heartbreak could rip me in two, but i’m so grateful that i always stopped what i was doing to give him extra love for future me, because it turns out that future me really needs those hugs right now. 💛 (rest in peace bud, i’ll love you forever 🐾) by @marsupialpudding

you don’t always have to edit photos to look realistic, sometimes you can edit like a fucking weirdo and it feels even better by @marsupialpudding

my cat wakes me up at 5:30am, howling. at first i’m annoyed, the desire for sleep still in the corners of my eyes. but then i see the streak of red sunlight peeking through the window, and immediately curiosity pulls me out of bed. i love the way my apartment feels in the morning. the shapes of pink, orange, and yellow that fill the space. all annoyance with my cat shaped alarm clock dissolves when I realize how easily i could have missed this; and how many days i do. the rare moments are often an accident, a series of actions and decisions you could have never planned. the golden morning light looks more beautiful when i acknowledge that my cat woke me up for it, and without his persistence i could have slept through it. it’s all a dance. i don’t know the choreography, but somehow it moves through me, and i trust it. in another life, or another morning, i didn’t wake up with the sun and my life was different because of it. in that place you never read these words or saw these photos. we are all a collection of our moments, time in physical form, and the stories they tell. the more we pay attention the more everything changes; and not in the chaotic way we’re usually used to, more like the slow and consistent way the sun rises each morning.🌻 by @marsupialpudding

every time i come back to the ocean i’m reminded that there are places in the world i do belong, places i feel at home. we ran into the waves, swam like little girls again, and laughed in ways it felt like we had all forgotten. like the saltwater gave us something back, something we had set down and forgot how to pick back up. maybe a loss of play, and certainly a loss of time; adulthood wrapped around our shoulders so constantly that we think it’s there to protect us from the harshness of life. there’s something so freeing and funny about stripping it all down and leaving it on the sand. our responsibilities didn’t go anywhere, but for a brief moment we’re out of reach, waves crashing into the smiles too big for our cheeks. adulthood just has to wait and watch as we honor our outgrown innocence. i love it here. i love seeing sarah laugh after such a serious winter, i love this curly haired freedom emerging from hannah, i love the color coming back to my skin. i have so much more i could say, but for now ill leave it at: i’m just so happy. ☀️ by @marsupialpudding

life has been weird lately, with a fair dose of grief but a whole lot more good. i’ve had vivid and obvious dreams, made things with my hands, and written more than i have in years. i still mostly take pictures on my walks outside, but i want to spend more time taking pictures of people (a hobby i’m missing). life is weird in the sense that I feel like a nerve ending that no longer hurts, but is still raw. the world scares me only sometimes, and mostly i’m learning that if i love it, it offers just as much love back. and that’s a worthwhile endeavor. what i mean to say is, weird in a good way; i hope the same for you. 💛 by @marsupialpudding
