live authentically.

express your truth- all of your truths.

We want both sides of you: the parts you keep hidden or scream into secret places, and the bright sides that keep you thriving.

What scares you? What brings you joy? What are you feeling? We want to know, wherever you are in your journey.  We are interested in all the ways you express your joy  and/or grief, whether through an intentionally crafted poem or a bullet point list... Be double sided and detailed. Stay multi-dimensional. Feel every part of you. Express whole. Immerse us; We want to live alongside you.

Each darker toned piece will be paired with something lighter. All feelings and images are important, yet we believe light will have the last word. We want you to stay. Stay here. Stay alive. This is why we are here: to acknowledge both sides of the whole moon.

because every new moon still has a bright side.
​
we are all growing, and hopefully you are too.
welcome to the club.

remember this: you are capable, significant, and brave, even when it feels like you’re not. your story is worth hearing.
stay.

Unapologetically dramatic and wholly uninterested in lukewarm living. Can be found overthinking, asking uncomfortable questions, writing, or misusing the glitter emoji.
