Today was full of joy and community.

I got meaningful work done, some of which was hard, because my data tells hard stories of unjust systems and dehumanizing practices, but telling the story of this data is a privilege and honor that I do not take lightly.

Alongside that work, I got to be in community with the best of friends and chosen family, taking time to connect, reflect, eat, laugh.

I dream of every day being this balance of meaningful work, intentional play, and love.

I believe that if I can dream it, it can someday be a reality.

What a privilege to reclaim dreaming, to feel the joy of community embodied.

I am truly grateful.
