^{issue no. 2}

hi.

In a shocking turn of events, I’ve sent out two of these in one week. Promise you won’t hear from me until next week. I want to go out, touch some grass, hug my people, and stretch my tired body.

This issue is a little existential in theme, and it got me thinking about all the things.

I cried yesterday (shockingly, no one was surprised). I went to the park last night and laid on my yoga mat with about fifty people I didn’t really know while a bald man played sound bowls and a flute. As the sun set, staring up at the tiny specks of stars, I started to really wonder: who am I? It felt like I was floating outside my body, finally taking in the new me and the person I’ve become over the last year while transforming my life. I was outside with a community I’ve found, celebrating one of the women who inspires me every day, not just to be a better yogi but a better person.

I say all of this to say: for the first time in a very long time, I’m so incredibly happy. I’m experiencing life in a way my little sad brain could never have dreamed of. I have people I want to see all the time, things I want to do, moments I want to hold onto.

I’m pretty fucking proud of myself. Sorry for the sappy little intro. Scroll down for Thursday’s question and its answers.
