We Love Waterfalls
Do it before us. Do it with us. Do it after us.
Let me explain what this is.
Actually, no. Let me explain how I got here first:
I just came off a 12-hour shift.
Got my shoe peed in while giving a shower 2 hours exactly before clock out time.
Had to finish my shift with pee sock, pee leg, pee vibes.
Drove my bestie and coworker 35 minutes in the opposite direction so she could start her vacation. Since she worked last night for me.
Dropped off another one a mile from my house.
And I still had to go feed 4 cats, one dog, and the neighbor, coworker, and or buddies cats before I even changed clothes.
And yet?
I’m still about to chase waterfalls.
Why?
Because this week is STNA Week, and I’m an STNA.
Because I’m a caregiver, a poet, a creator, a walking paradox of exhaustion and excitement.
Because I owe this moment, this daylight treasure hunt of stops to myself.
This is the Loop-de-Loop of Watersong:
A full-day road trip from Newark to Cleveland and back, with:
Waterfalls 🌊 Forests 🌳 Overlooks ⛰️ Trails under 1 mile 🥾 Dog-friendly stops 🐾 And photo ops so good they might just heal something you forgot was broken.
📍What You’re About to See
This is a build-your-own experience. You can:
Start closest to your house Do just a few or go full loop Spread it out over two days or crush it in one maybe just save it for a better time or send to a friend who’d love it.
This is the fastest and softest way to refill your soul when you only get two days off work, you write to survive, and you hike to breathe.
And you work to fulfill the capitalist agenda

is to take it back one stop at a time.
