Thank you, Charlotte, for reading me, and for this punchy hyperblast of love (in the responses)!! 🫣😁 And absolutely, yes, this all seems 4o to help a lot. As of this year, I keep a pad open in the living room at all times. One page will usually 2-3 days. I've always dreamt of that kind of liberty, and it feels unearned. To make things worse, currently, I'm watching 'Devious Maids' before bed. It's my first soap opera. This might be when I finally learn the art of breeding conflict into all aspects of a story... my life is just too comfortable...

I've enjoyed all of your comments. This piece was nearly cancelled post-submitting, many times. Your sincere appreciation gives meaning to my efforts. 🖤

May the rest of my responses come from a place of finer rest. ✨✨🙏

Sincerely, with love,

G 😌😌
