This is the moment we got engaged
For the second time on this day
and the third time
to each other.
On our very first date in New York we matched each other, audaciously ordering rabbit in the heat of summer.
A three course meal on the day we met,
It left seeds in our teeth
And we left wishing for a flosser
As much as we wished we had kissed.
You sent me a picture of one when you got home.
You showed me early that you could give me what I ask for, and teach me what I need.
You said yes to me over Labor Day weekend when I gave you a ring that encapsulates the sharp angles of your mind and the rabbit-hole arcs of your body. A hot tub, a full moon, Dijon and I dropping to our knees under Joshua tree stars with Juli-cat watching from the Airbnb.
I said yes to you on December 23 on a yacht small enough to feel like an exoskeleton, paradise water so choppy you couldnāt tell if you were seasick or nervous. I said yes to the waves and the Tequila the humpback whales diving, to the dirty dancing song you played over the speakers and the question you finally popped over open ocean
under setting sun
which looked like your finger paintings
of my body.
I said yes to a nap, yes to this dress, and yes when they told me to push a button, not knowing it would light up the sky, framing you on one knee with a single flosser in a ring box.
Itās hard to give a Scorpio a new feeling,
And itās hard for both of us to relinquish control,
But you make it easy to keep saying yes.
These pictures are proof of the fact that I have truly never felt this way before,
But I know that itās good,
And I am ready to have the time of my life
For the rest of my life
With you.
PS letās have a little commotion for the dress of the year. Thank you for forcing me to put gel in my hair and lipstick on my mouth like I made you swear you would if this moment ever came. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I feel like Brando and Dubois with this brilliant reminder of your steady love on my hand, in these jaw dropping photos that will always remind me how gorgeous our life is.
Show some respect, yaāll! We fianced!!!! #š

Take ur own picture. Ur hot.
Sore Thumb šæ is yours.
For anyone who feels threatened for being different today, I hope this song can protect and embolden you.
Sore Thumb is about coming to terms with the fact that you donāt fit in, learning to hone and love that natural superpower. EVEN when the world tries to punish you for standing up, or āsticking out.ā
@annabschulze thank you for spending our first session pouring your heart into something we both love. Huge thanks to @kaseytruman for being the whisper of a nudge in the right direction for so many magical moments in my career, including suggesting we write. āļø
Go listen - with love. Be a sore thumb.
Lyrics:
I was born in a choke hold
found my feet each time I stumbled
now I trip on my tongue oh
Art of being not so subtle
Like the sun reflectinā off a traffic light
An extended hand just asking for a ride
Iām sticking out like a sore thumb
here in the company no one
ya im so precious and broken, oh I
got em goin now
Iām stickinā out like a sore thumb
got their attention I hold em
I tried to fix what was broken,
tried to quiet what was loud -
But Iām Stickin out
One of these is not alike
Fallen fruit bitter to the bite
In an apple orchard Iām the orange
In a batch of roses im the thorn
Iām the Neon in the night
Iām sticking out like a sore thumb
here in the company no one
ya im so precious and broken, oh I
got em goin now
Iām stickinā out like a sore thumb
got their attention I hold em
I tried to fix what was broken,
tried to quiet what was loud - but Iām
Stickin out
But Iām stickin
Iām stickin
Iām stickin
Iām stickin out
like a sore thumb
!!!!!! Stay tuned for @highpotentialabc tonight to see the song in action!
I wrote a bunch of Pretti Good poems,
But instead,
Hereās a palate cleanse
Because,
The revolution will not be televised
And
Two things can be true at once;
A Vivienne Westwood wedding dress goes on sale
And
The cold-blood-collapse of an American White Male
Takes place in the ice of a terrible storm
While a city unites
Where a cavalry swarms
And then somebody freezes their Ramen mid-air
While a mother is teaching her kids how to share
And itās his right to carry
But our cross to bear
Oh wait, which kind of veil
Do winter brides wear?
This manic revolver
Is not for the weak
So amidst all the scrolling,
Be Good,
Brush your teeth.

āIf you are one of those people who has the ability to make it down to the bottom of the ocean, the ability to swim the dark waters without fear, the astonishing ability to move through lifeās worst crucibles and not die, then you also have the ability to bring something back to the surface that helps others in a way that they cannot achieve themselves.ā
