My goodness ✨

There is so much. The really lovely cozy perfect news? I’m safe and sound in Asheville for the first time in nearly two years.

Its been a helluva few weeks. Long story short: I got Covid. It was mild. Like super mild. I was/am lucky. I’ve recovered. To be honest? I don’t feel the need to go too deeply into it on here. The details feel relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. The people around me are healthy and safe and that’s the most important thing.

So? I wanted to be honest on here, cause I haven’t posted in weeks. I wanted to be honest and also to acknowledge that I somehow had the best case scenario and I know a lot of people haven’t. I want to recognize that for some people this pandemic has felt extremely “un-figureoutable” and my heart and sympathies are truly with them.

However, the idea that “everything is figureoutable” feels relevant to me, to my situation, and when I just saw this randomly on my feed it made me exhale, like a sigh of relief. This too shall pass. It’ll all be alright in the end, if it’s not alright- it’s not the end. Life is a brilliant mystery and we roll with all the punches and try to, y’know, stay relatively unscathed as impossible as it is (or feels like it is) at times.

Life unfolds and throws us infinite surprises. Some good, some less good. We constantly readjust, we constantly regain balance. Sometimes things are clear as day, sometimes they are murky. I believe in both transparency and in privacy. And so that’s that. I am SO grateful for the humans in my life (both sides of the Atlantic) and so very, very grateful to be in Asheville for the holidays. K, that’s all.

Everything is figureoutable
