I’m from around here, from a home full of kids, love and emptiness. I’m just like you, except I’m not. I don’t look like you, sound like you or think like you. I’m made of my mother, a woman brimming with love, acceptance and some loneliness and a father who feels familiar but I know nothing about but I live for his accolades. Two sisters and a brother who look up to me, hopefully for all the right reasons, one can only hope.

With a cherry on top of course. Now in my brief intermission of objective perspective I find I have the same reservations. Is this where I begin? Or should I start with when? I told my daddy I loved him and he told me to go to bed. I told my mother I wish I was dead, she held her head. When grandpa died, I pinched him so hard my fingers bled.

I asked him, the one with silver hair. I can’t look ahead so instead I look down at the carpet through gray foggy eyes. A simple subject at first, yet the more I ponder it, it seems to become convoluted beyond approach. I surmise that it’s related to a feeling of safety. When do you feel safe? A byline I also can’t speak to. So, I go forth and, in the days to come I began to think that many of the things and spaces that I belong to are ones of discomfort...]]></description><link>https://www.kailynchadwick.com/post/am-i-safe-here</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6998c81ad0665d05ef547e00</guid><category><![CDATA[Personal Essays]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 20:56:11 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fcce2d_f4c02c50e73d4bea8ae352fb2117c905~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kailyn Chadwick</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[pfw: Solid Homme]]></title><description><![CDATA[It’s taken me some time since getting back from Paris to collect my thoughts. It was such a whirlwind trip and I made so many great memories. Like so many creatives before and so many to come, Paris is truly a place to be inspired. It’s not the history or even the shows that I attended which were divine, of course, but it’s the people. The energy, the vibrations, everything is so elevated.

Stepping in for my Parisian mentor Florence and experiencing some invitation difficulties I quickly found myself sitting second row for this show.
