"There is something heartening about the company of funny women who know how to build their own fires, chop their own kindling, tear down camp in record time. About women who have earned strength and grace and irreverence through their own trials and yet are not defined by them. Who rarely complain and are never defeated. I don’t know the last time I spent so many hours laughing with people who were also content to let me wander off to the woods alone for an hour, lie in the grass and watch the sky grow bluer without saying a word. I don’t remember the last time I felt so fortified. So contented.

been thinking…

Thank ____ for these women in my life.
