In iambic pentameter. With glitter. And a P.S. that quotes someone they would have previously dismissed as “too woo.”

Something deliciously chaotic is stirring in your internal operating system. That mystical face of yours that’s been hiding behind productivity apps and perfectly organized to-do lists?

Your perfectly rational part that’s been desperately filing existence into neat little boxes just discovered there’s wisdom in the mess.
