Writing this essay helped me process, remember, understand. Publishing it helped me move on & connect. Thinking about the permanence of record in publishing—the idea of “imprint”, of my memory, me, living elsewhere—often scares me, but I found a perfect home for this one here. 🍑

Actually found “Banshees of Inisherin” very empowering - seemed to tell me that no matter right or wrong, good or bad, I CAN choose to live differently just because I want to, that the act of choosing itself is valid and noble and can be a beginning of something new.
What irks me is especially the gendered way we talk about it (reflects a lot of how we talk about gendered behavior):”women apologize way more than men, so tell women to stop apologizing”. Maybe men need to just apologize more? Maybe we as a society are truly just sorry people???
