whenever i am lost, let me find myself in the company of poets, costumed in gossamer with my words on my lap, camera on my shoulder, and laughter washing over my face.
6 months into 2026, huh? well then this year has been the single largest testament to me that time is not real. i am probably the most unsure i have ever been about where i have been, where i am, and where i’m going. but oh god where the logical, planning, strategic side of me has faltered my wilder, truer, artistic side has blossomed.
do i write every day? no. do i have much to show for this feeling? certainly not in a portfolio of finished work. do i know what i’m doing? i think you know the answer to that. but i am tuning in and falling in love. it is tumultuous and thrilling… and i have never been so encouraged in my life.
if you are one of the people who has said they liked a poem i wrote, or enjoyed seeing a goofier side of me online, or felt happy to see me happy. thank you. i am rewriting my narrative and being seen and appreciated in the midst of that has left me grateful beyond words.
thank you for these pictures Natalie Rempalski | Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in CA you are a sunbeam and i have never seen myself in a better light.
