Just YES! Got all the different feels reading this! Get it gurl. If this were a column in an old school news paper I’d subscribe to the paper just to read your column every week!

I love how you tie in the daily duality that stampedes us in this country as you write about self abandonment. I feel like we are indoctrinated into believing we HAVE to pick a side. I mean, can’t we NOT commit to being on a team. And still stand for something?

Gaslighting ourselves- fuck. We’re so good at doing that, right?

The last sentence made me so happy. And it also made me giggle.

You, my friend, never abandon yourself on the page. 🫶

The polemics are such a distraction. I see it so much more now that I’m back on my iPhone. It was easier to forget about that undercurrent when I wasn’t chained to the Internet. I think we can make our own team, right? We are on the side of love, always, even when it’s not perfect.
