Making yourself the home you’ve been seeking—I can only imagine how beautiful your inner world already is, even if you’re still figuring out what or how it can be for you. Thank you for leaning into your craft for comfort, and sharing it with us all.

Also, if you do consider teaching again, something like outschool might be more fulfilling!

Loved this. You are really good.

Make a home in your poor weak heart, make a home in your craving and your inner beauty. It's who you are. But also I wish for you peace and fulfillment enough to leaven the craving.
