why / by jen geigley


Sometimes people ask me why I do the things I do. Why I stay up late making weird things, why I blog, why I make little books filled with nonsense, why I spend too much time on this or that or whatever. Sometimes they kind of laugh, and I get it. It doesn't make me mad, but sometimes I wish I could explain it.

Sabrina Ward Harrison said it far better than I ever could.

'I believe we must create what we most need to find. I don't aim for pretty, I aim for release. We have to make room for our life in progress. As women, we must be heard along the way. We must share how it really feels, what we know but can't place. We must take a deeper breath and let go. Trust yourself. Leave ripples.'
