welcome in. stay awhile.

welcome to Stay. we have changed the name of this space to better reflect our values and beliefs:
some days, staying is enough. don't be gone. not every day needs to include a break through. it is enough to stay, and let your body carry you through.
the day we published our last issue, we felt bubbly. anxiously on the cusp of a new year, ready to be awaited, to leap in head first, and to thrive. now, seven months later, i am a different person. perhaps i have aged about twelve years. take this moment to acknowledge all you have survived. all the anxiety and fear or protectiveness you have held in your body. soften your jaws. lower your shoulders. sit up tall, stretch your spine slightly back, core engaged. inhale deep into your tummy. you are here. you have made it here. welcome. we are so pleased to present you with a third collection, full of surreal new worlds and airy spaces. we hope you love it.
thanks for being here. you matter. stay awhile.

    Here you will find a blue room. A golden dog. Submerge in chlorine. Begin to drive. Place your fingers on your wrist. Settle in. Stay awhile.
