I actually had two mood boosts, today: one was lunch, and one was two nephews calling me up because they wanted to play Minecraft.

I freaking love still being cool enough for them to want to hang out with. I have no idea how long it will last, but I cherish every second.

The yo-yo is going to be with me for a while - precarious living and general isolation make it hard to get out of my head - but days like today remind me to lean in even and especially amid despair.

I hope you can as well. ❤️
