Born with a different rhythm.

I had heart surgery when I was little. Grew up in a hospital. Was told I’d never pilot a plane, play sports, or do anything “of that nature.”

So when they finally said you’re free to go — I got into everything. Full ride to college on a volleyball scholarship. Academic on top.

I learned how to squeeze the juice out of every lemon. That’s the whole thing. That’s the rhythm.

What lights me up

Hummingbirds
THEY NEVER STOP. THEIR WINGS OSCILLATE IN A PATTERN ALL THEIR OWN. SAME.
Trees
THEY GROUND MY BUSY-BODY NATURE. REMIND ME TO BE STILL FOR A MINUTE.
A Loud Room
FULL OF PEOPLE BEING ENTIRELY THEMSELVES.
A Long Table
MIXED METALS. CANDLES BURNING DOWN. THE RIGHT KIND OF MESS.
