This was a captivating read, thank you so much! Your picture captions are hilarious. Also, yay for friends like Darwin. I love that he showed up right in your moment of desperation to say, “Don’t panic. We’re going to figure it out.” That's awesome :)

Also, I think about ghosts of Emma's past a lot, especially the version of me who still works in an office downtown. I recently realized there's a haunting there because there was never closure. When you're told to go home because there is a pandemic, and then never brought back to pick up right where you left off, it does feel like a whole alternate reality was birthed from that. I wonder what the old me is doing now in that other reality.

I want to share that you are already someone who invisibly supports me. I look forward to the newsletter every week. You inspire me and your texts are like a lovely piece of chocolate to be enjoyed slowly, a small pleasure, a moment of quiet in a hectic world.

Your work story reminds me of the French TV show on Netflix, Call My Agent 😂 And on a different note, “You are supported” is what I needed to hear today - thank you ❤️
