I've been finding myself down at the river a lot lately. In the short periods of warm sunlight we're getting lately, I'm finding myself drawn to the water. Leon Bridges has a beautiful song called River that I used to be obsessed with. It recently came back into rotation and I'm just as touched by it now.

There's something so cathartic about the water for me-whether it's a walk along the river, a hot bath at the end of the day, or diving into a swimming pool. I think it's a ritualistic thing for me. It feels like a cleansing ritual, a letting go of things no longer serving me, and coming up lighter and cleaner. Not cleaner in the sense of shame or guilt for being "dirty." But cleaner in the sense of letting go of negative energy and things holding me back from living authentically.
