Aliveness.

A journal of strength, softness, wildness, and being fully alive.

What would it mean to truly celebrate myself?

To place my bare feet on the grass.

To run with abandon down a green hill,

feel my breath rise

and my muscles flex.

To feel every cell in my body

vibrate with aliveness.
