What happens to the place you run to when you’re lost, after you’ve found what you’re looking for? Can you stay, or is it time to move on?

Time is a funny thing. I’ve only just started reflecting on some of the more intense events from four years ago, but the emotions are still there, easily accessible even now. I hope writing about them will help me process them, and maybe it’ll help someone else

This week’s essay is a little bit about Friday’s internet meltdown, a little bit about astrology, and a big bit about what it means to be wild

It’s hot, everyone is mad, the world is spiraling out of control, and I’m just writing silly little essays about the end of the world

I haven’t been able to take the dogs out during the day in over a week due to heat, and now a nearby fire is loading the wind with ash. Summer is bleak in most parts of the country, but nowhere as much as the deserts of the Southwest.
