This was so beautifully shared. You always write your life with such unflinching strength, the images you choose to include are continuously lucid no matter how dark. I’m just in awe of your light and feel too lucky to know your radiance. I read this and thought, look at what lasts. Your aureate words, your resplendent heart. Love love love love you.

"I often examine that self betrayal, maybe the largest in my life. How I said yes when I knew the answer was no."
