i love rifles, specifically bolt action rifles. i believe in “one shot, one kill.”

Today I am thankful for my stretch marks.
Postpartum belly. Textured like jelly, but perhaps more like dough. Dough that stretched and stretched and grew and grew. Marked by little lines. Lines that decorated the home that housed my baby. A home built on the foundation of love, and supported by my liver and my lungs and my heart that were also his. So big and healthy and strong we were together. He doesn’t live in my belly any more....

thank you for your support....
