It’s been a weird month. I’m a little burned out and not confident I can describe it well. Back in my ad agency days, a star copywriter shared a helpful saying when you’re staring at a blank page: Write it straight, then make it great. I’ll try the first part, but I got nothing great for you. I’m still coming out of a malaise, something like a zombie state with maybe mild depression mixed in there. At the low point, arguably the high point, I was in a hotel room at a conference and could not stop watching YouTube clips of a romantic comedy released last year called “Anyone but You.”
This was really beautiful, I enjoyed reading it. As someone who is 8 months into being 40, and a nurse who works with cardiac patients, I related to every line. Life is wild. Time spent contemplating mortality has gone from once in a blue moon in my 20’s, to perhaps a solid 10 minutes out of every day now that I’ve entered my 5th decade.
Also we’ve barely met, but I’m a friend of Leilani’s. I’m pretty sure I’ve read every single one of your posts since like mid 2018 and I’m always excited to see it pop up in my inbox. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the world ☺️
