Honest Tea by Franca

Honest Tea by Franca

I want this space to feel like after-dinner talks or late-night hot drinks sitting side by side on rocking chairs. The kind of relationship where you can stop what you’re doing and say ”Look at the moon!” One that feels sincere and uncomplicated, not performative. Real, reciprocated, cultivated. I’m thinking long-term, also witty, with a pinch of pettiness, one that can hold deep dives and light stuff, slow or lazy AF. Snail energy. The feeling you get with exciting conversations, or when you start something new but with the familiarity or experience and comfort a long-term relationship brings.

I've spent some days by the sea recently, and this particular body of water was very gentle and generous, warm, colorful, calm. And something really curious started happening as it was kind of almost unfolding.

I was in the water floating. It was very easy to float, I guess, because it was very salty. And I went into kind of a meditative state, I would say. And as I was looking at the tiny waves coming up and down, I almost noticed...

This week, I engaged in two conversations with friends and observed a subtle yet profound transformation within them. It was a kind of maturing or quickening that seemed almost imperceptible, much like the gradual changes you notice in a child only when you step back and reflect.

In these moments, I realized how this transformation is something you can't plan for. It’s a natural process, akin to the cycles of life: creation, maint...

It's not just a fleeting feeling but can feel like a slingshot into the abyss, leading to a shutdown mode devoid of vitality. I struggled during this period and was unprepared for its challenges. However, the support and shared experiences from other women made me realize that we don't have to navigate this ...
