Dear Smother: I Get It. And I'm Sorry. I’ve spent the last ten years writing about my overly-smothering mom. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m finally eating my words.

You’re the best, Randi ❤️❤️❤️

Things that sparked joy this morning:

-The jolt of my bare feet hitting cool concrete

-My dog’s tail when he realized I was up, too

-That inexplicable flicker of hope

My oh-so-brilliant writer friend Autumn Chiklis, everyone. I'll let you know when she's on Bluesky.

Randi!! 😭 Thanks for making my day. Always so honored when you read my words 🙏🏻
