This is pure and honest. I admire your work! 💜
As someone who lives in constant fight or flight, I really feel this one!! Nice work, Sarah!
Good writing! I really enjoyed reading it.
The legacy of our distant squirrel-like ancestors will be with us for a long time to come. We're at least finally starting to try to learn how to deal with our anxieties. We have a loooooong way to go though (he said while trying not to bite his nails)! You do very interesting things in order to keep important subjects topical- I'm enjoying your work Sarah!
