  • April

    April is a soft reintroduction to joy.

  • May

    March is my favorite because it’s messy. Muddy shoes, melting snow, and the rawness of becoming all thrive in May.

  • Clean and Hopeful

    January is my favorite because it gives me a clean calendar and a hopeful heart.

  • December

    December is my favorite because nostalgia becomes like a sunshine instead of like a wound.

  • November

    November feels like quiet gratitude settling over everything.

  • October

    October is my favorite because it turns the whole world into a gentle goodbye.

  • August

    August is my favorite because everything glows with that bittersweet finite-summer magic.

  • June

    June is my favorite because the sunlight feels like forgiveness on my skin.

  • May

    My favorite month is May because this month is the keeping of the weather’s promise to remain cyclical.

  • April

    April is my favorite because the sound of the rain has always made me feel less alone in my own storms.
