I don't have kids, but as the daughter of immigrants, the younger sister of an Indian son, and a serial people pleaser, the line "that I exist, and am loved, outside of my utility to others" really struck a chord with me so thank you for the reminder <3
Aw I’m so glad! I always have to remind myself that if I’m letting myself have a nice/easy time, so are the kids. It should not be a paradox! But somehow is.
Wow, what a change! This is my plan too for the summer. No work on my book - too much pressure -- just my regular paid work (remotely), from the Catskills, where I will be covered in paint and glue, with dirty feet and people coming to hang on the porch every night eating leftover cheese as the sun sets.
This is the vibe; now I understand vibe.
Yes yes! I will only archive this 60% of the time but keep returning to it when I get derailed. A practice
I love the idea of having fall things to look forward to!

Helen who runs Silverlake Ballet has terrific adult ballet classes, FYI :)
I have heard SO much about this but I’m in Venice, of all places!

Adult swim class was life changing for me. It taught me that there are so many things we are good at. We just don't know it yet.
Exactly! I love that.
I really loved reading this💕
Aw glad to return the favor!
