This essay was kismet for me! This morning I started to get bogged down in making plans I didn’t need to make just yet, but then I read this and decided it’s time to enjoy the present. Thanks for the push to enjoy the snacks and decorate the hallway :)
Born on the second day of April (I know, I’ve heard all the April Fool’s jokes ever been made, sooo…. ) I felt ever bit of this. I hate not having “permission” to power down at 5pm … or at least until the sun goes down… it’s the uncertainty, the leaving behind the comfortable… a birthday at the beginning of the cruelest month leaves me the whole month to ponder that I am running out of time to become a butterfly, probably only as many years as I can count on my hands at this point… and a whole society geared up to strip me of as much of me as it can before I become nothing, all the while fighting desperately against becoming nothing … terrifying… until it isn’t… probably…
What a beautiful post and beautiful reminder. What a gift you are. How amazing it is to receive posts like this from a genuine, caring person who is constantly looking to make people's experiences better. Thanks for this. happy spring
