What should you know about me that makes me me? When I snack, I go chocolate, salty, gummy, and then repeat the cycle until I feel sick and hate myself. Then I have one more handful of chips. I’ve never tried coffee or cocaine, but after talking to me, no one would fault you for thinking I’m a dirty liar. I find dreaming exhausting. I practice whatever the opposite of meditation is and work hard to rarely be alone with my thoughts. I love people, but distrust animals and oceans. I think that gives you a pretty good picture of me – much more accurate than the picture above, taken 8 long years ago. Oh, how things have changed.
Whoever you are who’s reading this, and one day someone will, I’d love to chat, so please reach out if you’d like to too.
