I just want to take a moment to say, 'I'm really not sad - or in a bad place'. The blog posts really might sound like it because maybe when I wrote the mini essays I kind of was. The thing about shipping (and life, right?) is that intermingled with all the bad is all the good! Sometimes, when I'm posting photos of ice and dolphins I feel irresponsible for not sharing the other stuff. The stuff that makes it hard. While you're reading please just know that I'm an incredibly lucky human who knows it.

Thanks for leaving me such kind notes.

This little note is in regards to writing about brave enough. You can read more about why here and read my first mini essay here.
