Violet is in the therapy chair.
It’s the loveseat on her porch, which is the hub of the house. Everything happens here. Dogs fighting, tequila drinking, nude sunbathing, smoking, Ke$ha karaoke, guitar playing, fort building, kid snuggles, vulture soaring…. Violet thrives on chaos - it’s her supercharger.

A taste:
“So I don’t actually have a lot of dreams right now. This is the first time in my life I haven’t had a list of aspirations. It’s partially because I’m pretty fucking content. […] I love my life […] There’s nothing to get away from.”
“There’s this new talk out right now about white supremacist thinking and part of that is goals and the whatcha! - that’s a slavery whip right there - and task master and getting stuff done and goals and the whole capitalist slavery thing.”
“I don’t like stop and chats. I like deep connections with people.”
Favorite quotes:
