Just Between Us
Entry One: “Full but not busy”

Hey love,

I remember last summer. It was loud. Packed. Productive. Necessary.
But if I’m honest, it was also lonely.

Güven and I tag-teamed 50 solo markets. I closed the restaurant most nights. Every week was a sprint, every weekend was spoken for. We filled the calendar to keep the dream afloat… but somewhere in the buzz of survival, I missed myself.

This summer? Different frequency.

I feel full. Not busy. Not burned out. But brimming.
With porch hangs & pool dips. With slow mornings & shared meals. With belly laughs & long drives and friends who see me.

And it’s not just life that’s changed. It’s me.

Somewhere between selling towels & writing client copy, I stopped believing the limiting belief that I couldn’t monetize my passion. My work has deepened. My confidence caught up. I’m doing the most fulfilling work of my life, helping other businesses shine while growing my own.

I still have to set reminders to stretch, to hydrate, to eat. Because when I’m in flow, really in it, time dissolves. What a luxury: to be so inside your purpose, you forget the clock.

So here I am. Writing to remember. To honor the shift. To share the softness.

And to ask: What kind of full are you right now?
And is it the kind you want?

Thanks for meeting me here.
And if you want to see the work that started it all, what I built from nothing (with Güven) & now get to call ours, you can find it at togethertextiles.com.
It’s waiting for you. No rush.

Just love.

xx
