Some of the words I share here I wrote long ago, maybe years ago. Some are words I can recall feeling and screaming out loud to myself when I was alone in my car.

They may be, but it’s very possible I’ve changed my perspective and opinion, or was presented with new information even since hitting “publish.”
Please hold space for nuance, the human experience, for personal evolutions and revolutions. Know that as I give myself grace and space to learn and grow, I am actively working to extend that same love to people in my life.
