I love love love that Cake version. It’s been a favorite for (decades??) Sometimes when I get sick I think, “oh okay, I’m supposed to rest now, I was forgetting to be human…” even though it also sucks to get benched. sorry to hear about your chaos monkeys <3 if it’s any consolation I love your writing for the peace and beauty it brings. I also support this writing retreat idea! I would file that in a folder called “wild hairs” and light some candles nightly for their velocity…
Thank you for always keeping it real. Some days are hard. Other days are worse. And then the next day is almost unimaginably better. Here's wishing you "better" soon.
I am catching up on your writing, so I'm sure you are now well. I am not. I have the plague, of sorts, and this essay makes me feel so freaking seen!
Love this! I've been thinking of ditching my gratitude journal and really letting it all hang out. (Life is hard.)
Thank you for this beautiful essay.
Being sick is a rattletrap of all sorts. Who needs the extra when we have a bag full anyway? You describe it well. Get better very soon!
