One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in mental health has left me in awe on a weekly basis for the past 2 years. Witnessing people suffer through and re-experience pain is profound. Conversely, seeing people grow and find wisdom through suffering has been a formative process for me. Keep alive!

I have a vivid memory of seeing a cooing alien egg underneath a tree during a blizzard. My 6 year old brain trippin balls!
