softness

This week, practice embracing softness in your life: Ask for support: Reach out to someone you trust and let them know what you need—whether it’s a listening ear, a moment of connection, or just someone to sit with. Be gentle with yourself: When you feel the urge to push through, pause and ask, “What would kindness toward myself look like right now?” Celebrate vulnerability: Share something honest with a safe person in your life. Notice how it feels to let someone in.

Journal Prompt: When was the last time you allowed yourself to lean into softness? How did it feel, and what did you learn? Softness isn’t the absence of strength; it’s the truest expression of it. By receiving care and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, we learn to extend gentleness to ourselves and others. This ripple effect transforms not only how we heal, but also how we move through the world—with compassion, courage, and grace. 🖤Dr. Akilah

Awesome Human Beings

The teenager bagging groceries today asked if I wanted my bread on top.

I said yes.

He nodded seriously and said, “Good call. Structural integrity is everything.”

Then he arranged my bags like he was building a cathedral.

His coworker laughed at him.

But my bread arrived home unpunched, my tomatoes unbrushed.

Sometimes the people who care too much about small things are exactly who we need.-Darshak Rana

Family Beyond Blood

A lot of people created life but didn’t agree to nurture it. Showed up for the performance, but not the process. And it’s painful, but also freeing, to admit that.

What I’m learning is that soul bonds don’t always follow bloodlines.

Love isn’t guaranteed by proximity or shared history. It’s a practice. A presence. And a choice.

So now, I’m less concerned with titles, and more invested in alignment.

In mutual care & chosen soul family. Real relationships that nourish, not just name.

Because being called something doesn’t mean being that something.

And I no longer want to confuse the two. –Brittsense

work ethos

normalize calling your corporate gig your side job and your creative projects and writing your main job. it forces you to have a different relationship with work that you do to make rent, and a more serious relationship with the work that actually feeds you.-Tahirah Hairston

honestly i became a lot more sane when i chose to start referring to my “real” job as my “bills” job. Creating became my “profession.” prioritizing things well 100% starts inside yourself. Kass CarcosaOct 8

I do a version of this too! I’m getting better at responding with “I’m a writer but my paid work is as a …” and now I get to talk more about my creative work than ever before!-Nielly
