You have always spoken to me, but this piece has really spoken to me in a way where I recognize all of things in me that I have been squashing. With the exception of writing, I have never been a writer and yours- dear friend-is beautiful, real and raw. I did, however, attend a protest and then lay on the couch for the rest of the weekend to avoid finishing a work project I needed to finish this weekend. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow.

Hi friend! So glad this spoke to you. <3 It's wild coming to out diagnoses in our maturity, but when we stumble onto them, life just starts to make more sense. And, it gets easier to cultivate the tools needed to engage in life in the ways we want to.

Glad you got to the protest, even if you didn't get that project done. I hope it doesn't cause any undue stress.

<3
