What comes
after survival?

The fucks budget

You’re Probably Not Out of Fucks. You’ve Just Been Spending Them on Shit That Was Never Yours.

SHANE & GILL

Two voices.
One field.

We write from inside our lives. Grief, relationships, family, and the work of finding our way back to ourselves.

Phoenix Field is where we put words to what we’re living and learning. You’re welcome to find your own way through it.
