JUST WANNA CURL UP

AND READ A BOOK

👋 HEY CUTIE!

Happy Friday, LA Fam! Wet weather is here, and more is on the way throughout our weekend. Might be time to explore a new favorite coffee shop for 2026. I hope that you all have a nice, bunkered-in weekend and I'll see everyone back here on Wednesday! Have your best weekend in 2026 yet! - Wyatt

I think and think and think. I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.
