"What sometimes looks empty is space for a dream."

"What sometimes looks empty is space for a dream" is a lyric I wrote for The Dream Switch project, but it's also a little mantra that plays on repeat in my brain. Nothing is nothing, friends. Every person, place and idea has its own unique story and features and the potential to continue to grow in its goodness. And while having the creativity and vision and drive to transform "what sometimes looks empty" into "a dream" may not always be met with the enthusiasm or understanding you'd hope for, decide now on being okay with that. The naysayers are not your people. I know the naysayers all too well. I've seen them stand in clumps at picnics and eat hot dogs and give plenty of side eye and whatnot, okay? "Weirdly specific" you might say, and to that I say, "uh huh."

​Keep going, you lonely, lovely, kick ass pioneer. Your vision is needed way more than hot dogs and side eye and a fear of anything different than what came before it. Different is good. YOU are good.

​Also - did this just get weird? Honestly, I don't care.
