I’m a lot (and I like it) Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)* I hate to admit it but every now and again an old dead white guy kind of nails it *(credit to Ralph Waldo Emerson for words in italics)
So I have toted these exact lines in my heart’s back pocket since first reading them as a teenager. They have appeared in social media bios and other self-descriptions I’ve written for myself.
One of my most frequent responses to being told I’m not making sense? These lines.
And...true story... I added “Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself” to the Tinder profile that two hours later matched me to my wife.
Yes! There are galaxies within us 🥰🌌
AND I LOVE IT.

I am Team Ralph Waldo for life.
Okay this is wow wow wow.
Your frog & toad pieces are always my favorite. ✨
Thank you!!
The Christian supremacy poem!! I can hear all the counter arguments, lol. Cheers to embracing our complexities (and Frog & Toad).
I know all the counter arguments because I used to spout them off. Ugh.
Same.
