Rest looks different these days. Taking personal days from work to get a massage, grab a donut, and most importantly get st0ned in the park🤣😭
In a moment where the world feels so heavy, it can be hard to sit with ourselves. I find such stillness and restoration in these tiny little rewards. Sometimes I need to remember I’m not needed - there is no such thing as an “urgent” request from work. My presence is resistance.
With the chaos around the world, I want to empower us all to take charge. But we also need to rest in order to push back on the systems that oppress many. I’ve often felt hypocritical posting fun things to do in Chicago. But without ideas for joy, we can get lost in the hurt that is this world. This page is evolving to embrace resistance and the beauty that we work to protect and innovate here in Chicago💜 Safe Haven in the City is a love letter to the city that refined, embraced, and protected me. Now I’m embracing it, working to dismantle systems that haven’t been inclusive or embraced us all. I’m glad you’re here on this ride with me :)
