Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been showing up for a month now, thank you for being here. Thanks for reading and thanks for caring. It feels really good to be writing again. Beyond my personal experience, I hope Ever Get Home can be a kind corner of the Internet, a place you feel safe and find encouragement, a place with meaning and it moves you. I hope the words point back to people and experiences in own your life, things that matter and feel true.
I’m excited to keep coming back. I hope you will as well.

Couldn't choose just one favorite...
"Maybe it’s about staying for what you already know to be true: The people you love. The people who love you."
"May our hearts stay soft and strong. And radically accepting."
"[Remember] you’re far from alone when it comes to being human."
"What a gift to give up the performance . . . for the chance to actually be known."
I love this one as well:
"I need places to unpack the heavy, and of course the light as well. I would like to be known, and I want the people I love to know I love them. What a thing to find a friend who feels like home."
