I wrote this about my dad, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 5 years ago. I know this is super personal, but I know these feelings aren’t unique to me at the same time.

I have always really struggled to let myself feel really deeply painful feelings. But what grief has taught me is that there’s no way out. It will always be there. And maybe this is what people mean by surrender - letting myself cry, and feel the helplessness. Surrendering to the pain is so scary, but I have found when I do it, I do feel more alive and a deeper love on the other side.

It makes me think about the concept of “psychological richness” - the idea that life isn’t meant to just feel happiness, and that more depth, aliveness, and connection come when we feel the full range of emotions.

I fucking hate the pain we all experience in life. But I also don’t want to run from it. Because I want to feel alive.

I like sharing deeper life things, even though it feels kinda weird and really scary. Sending love to anyone who reads this, and who feels this♥️ by @sammycflynn

A goal of mine for 2026 is to write more poetry. I wanted to share this one because it captures something that’s been a constant for me across all different seasons and versions of myself.

I often feel like I’m walking around holding a sign that says, “I’m insecure”. Whether or not that’s how I actually come across, that’s what it can really feel like. Sometimes it’s way more at the surface - bubbled up and I feel really fragile. Other times it’s tucked a little deeper - where I feel more grounded and sturdy. Either way though, it is there.

Recently I was thinking about thoughts (lol something I love to do)... and how one can start in one place and if you follow it long enough, it can lead somewhere completely different. That’s where this poem came from.

I think our insecurities as humans help us connect to each other, and I love that. Plus there’s something about just saying the thing out loud - like “I’m insecure” or “I’m jealous” or whatever it is - instead of burying it and then most likely projecting it onto the person closest to us. For me it feels so icky and way too exposing, but then it always gets better.. and I gotta keep reminding myself of this.

Anyways - I love when I can feel I said something that made someone else feel safe enough to say “omg me too” and I love when someone does that for me.

Maybe this post will do that for someone - happy 2026 if anyone is actually reading this lol! Sending love to all😊♥️ by @sammycflynn

It’s crazy how quickly days become memories. For a day that went by so fast it also weirdly felt like time slowed down - because every piece of it was so meaningful😭. I often try to not hold too tightly to moments because I know they’ll end.. BUT nothing ever really ends. We carry our experiences with us and each one becomes another part of who we are.

All life is, is a collection of moments, and we never know how many we have. So this day was a reminder to me to try as much as I can to hold each one close and embrace it instead of worrying about it passing. ♥️

Thank you to the absolute best photographer ever. You added SO much joy to this day 🥹♥️♥️ @sambrooksphotos by @sammycflynn

One of my goals this year is to feel more free. What holds me back from that is often me resisting myself, thoughts, feelings, and situations. Facing what’s going on inside me is so hard and it can REALLY make me want to hide - but when I push myself to truly look at it all and feel it all, and actually embrace it all - the icky feelings, the deeply fucking painful feelings, and the really good and empowering feelings.. the other side of that IS freedom and peace.

It’s freeing to be okay with myself
It’s freeing to feel confident about my insecurities
It’s freeing to feel okay with not liking everyone and be okay with people not liking me

Talking life with my best friend for a week was so healing... And KENZ TEACHING HER FIRST YOGA CLASS🥹. I cannot even explain how that felt experiencing that..

I’m so grateful. I’m grateful for the lows because they’ve brought me here. And they’ve given me a perspective I wouldn’t have otherwise. by @sammycflynn
