You Are Not Fixed

I found the journal I kept through the worst year of my life. I'm reading some of it aloud.

I sat down yesterday to write a mid-year life audit and couldn’t finish it. Some of the hardest things that happened this year aren’t mine to tell. So I went to the mic instead.

While I was setting up, I picked up a leather journal my mom gave me in December of 2019. I wrote in it from 2020 to 2021, through a torturous breakup, a pandemic, parenting two teenage boys, and feeling the absolute lowest I have ever been. In this CATTE episode I read a few of those journal entries out loud for the first time.

I’m not sharing them because they’re pretty.

I’m sharing them because I’m proof that you can get out.

CATTE is usually for paid subscribers. This one is for everyone.
