I don’t know what the hangup is in my brain land about feeling okay, or feeling balanced, or middle of the road. I know how to navigate the extremes–I’ve lived most my life doing the electric slide back and forth between them. But this sense of ease? It feels like a threat to me. […]
Read MoreThere was always a certain kind of person I despised. I considered them “bad” people, heartless people, selfish people, and so on.
