THE BLOG BY DANENE

A little pretty.
A lot to unpack.

Everyday life. Existential questions.
And the occasional “what the fuck?”

For the thoughts that start small and somehow end up questioning the entire way we live.

A thought worth sitting with.

Why Are We All Pretending This Is Normal?

A bajillion years ago we were hunting and gathering… and now we are here. Standing in shit.

On work, survival, and remembering what we’re actually living for.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORDS

Hi, I’m Danene.
I have thoughts.

Danene, the writer behind Pretty Deep

I’m a mom, a writer, and a person who can turn an ordinary day into a very deep question.

Pretty Deep is where I put those questions. The funny ones. The uncomfortable ones. The ones about love, work, spirituality, and all the complicated rules we seem to have made up for being human.

I believe there’s room to be thoughtful and ridiculous in the same breath. So let’s laugh a little, question a little, and leave room for something deeper.

Love, Danene

A LITTLE REMINDER TO TAKE WITH YOU

“Because love.
THAT is the most important thing.”
