Besides being delighted by the contents of your posts, I learn so much from you, Tash.
Such as:
How to be unabashedly, unapologetically oneself. ("fighting back with the might of an irrational lover.")
Subtle irony, mixed up with presumed typos ("take ana .... accounting class... fun")
And new info! (I will def use your definition of "a land before time" with my child; never thought of it that way.)
How to leave the reader with a wistful, lump in her throat, and answer the question laid out at the start ("how are you feeling?... every day.")
Sigh. Thank you!
Also, I just read my first Cheryl Strayed book (Wild) myself; had heard the Dear Sugars podcast, but wasn't familiar with her writing. What a phenom and inspiration.
<3 Aww thank you so much for reading Angelique! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I didn't realize there is a Dear Sugar podcast! I'll have to dive into that. I also love the book Wild. Too good!
"I served excuses, external things, like little teacakes, begging to justify it to everyone who asked."
This piece delighted me in a way I cannot describe. Perhaps it was the freedom and courage to publish all the typos! Perhaps it was the memories of typing class in high school, circa 1966.

Thank you Chery!! Yes, the typewriter is from 1963, the year my mother was born. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
