When I was on the brink of leaving a 10 year relationship in the middle of a pandemic, I had to ask myself:

hey there,
Yesterday evening, as I drove home from teaching a yoga class, the mountains already dark, I caught myself thinking of my ex. The scene that warmed itself into my mind was of us sitting across from each other at dinner, laughing, ordering something culinarily...

How are your holidays ramping up?
Personally, I've been crying for two days, ever since my mom decided to rent us a car from the airport instead of coming to get us tomorrow.
