“Do you know," Peter asked, "why swallows build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories.” ~ J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

prison break


no rules.

let this next year be out of focus and full of even more imperfection, 
full of flowers that outgrow their containers and dangle dangerously over the sides,
pushing their roots out the bottoms.
contain this, baby.

how will you practice self compassion?
