I adore you and am so grateful for the way you articulate the excitement and mystery of this time in your (our) life!

So with you in that I’ve always loved school so much! A return at this point in life seems like nirvana to me. That being said, I can see how the summer “off” is also a challenge. Kudos on finishing this first, intense year!

What a satisfyingly reflective read about your current phase of life.

As a woman with many similar elements, I found it so relatable to be invited into your experience. It’s particularly valuable to have someone lend insight during the times not only when trauma occurs, but also during the times when we feel adrift. Thank you for this.

Congratulations on completing the first year of your graduate program!
