Beyond grateful that you stayed (and beyond grateful that I stayed too so we could meet each other!) Happy still-alive-iversary, dear friend. xx

Also, why is the phrase "emotionally expensive" actually kind of delicious? Lol. Of course you meant costly, but it also can read like being bougie with your feelings and tbh I don't hate that.

I picked up “emotionally expensive” from Mary HK Choi - I was immediately drawn in but it’s just been living in my head rent free until now. Very pleasing to finally use.

Congrats on being alive! I’m happy you’re here.

My biggest accomplishment when I turned 30 was still being alive. I don’t know if there is something about 30, but I was also convinced that I would not make it to that age, which is an experience I won’t develop on here but I’m happy to talk about. Now in my 40s it feels a lot like bonus life which is freeing in a way.
