July 1.
Today I begin something quiet and intentional.
A daily ritual of noticing, of recording. Not just the movement from one place to another, but the shifting of perspective that happens when you begin to see life as a traveler might.

Not all travel happens in motion.
Sometimes it’s the slow unfolding of thought on a quiet morning. A glance out a window. A question that lingers.

Plane, train, or stillness—this is how I’ll move through July:
with curiosity, with openness, with reverence.

This is my travel diary.

/ HARD AND SOFT TRUTHS / Stories told in person create special moments that connect us. When someone speaks and others listen, we build a little community that fights loneliness. This sharing of words face-to-face is an ancient tradition that helps us feel less alone in our own thoughts.— Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin

Right now, I am experiencing both sides of what Le Guin describes - the silence of inner solitude and the hunger for genuine connection. During my transition journey, I might feel like I’m in a crowd yet completely alone, caught between needing space to discover myself and craving authentic understanding from others.

Like a storyteller without an audience, or a listener without a story that speaks to personal experience, I am searching for my kindreds in a world where I can be fully present and fully seen.

Does anyone relate?

This tension is natural. A need for solitude that honors the personal nature of journey, giving you room to hear your own voice clearly. Yet your desire for connection acknowledges that transformation is also communal - we understand ourselves better when reflected in others’ understanding.

Perhaps what we are seeking isn’t just any connection, but those rare, fragile moments of communion where your authentic self can be shared and witnessed without translation or compromise.

Happy 12th birthday to my wing gal and best friend

Happy 12th birthday to my wing gal and best friend! 🐾❤️ They say, “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” Dita has been my shadow, my confidante, and my endless source of joy for 12 beautiful years. Here’s to more tail wags, belly rubs, and adventures together. Love you forever, my little long-haired muse.
