It’s been a while since I shipped an essay out into the world. 

Although I believe writing is a discipline, and we must show up regardless of inspiration, I tend to write essays only when I’m completely captivated (or tortured) by a thought or feeling.

I’m in this weird and exciting time of my life, experimenting with new ways of being in the world.

But with weird and exciting times come weird and exciting feelings, and I turn to writing to make sense of it all. 

THANK YOU for supporting my work! 

Whether it’s a like, comment, share, kind word or monetary contribution, your actions remind me that writing matters.
