this part resonates so much - the scrap-metal crush in the heart, the “…used to being part of a pack, used to the blur itself. The more we’re all together, the more that’s what I want.” divorce

added many new layers to motherhood for me - it became more and differently primal and complicated. And yes, there’s a crush, a true pain to it. Congrats on getting back to the writing project

Thank you, Nancy. I'm glad you saw it, and it helps to know you can relate to the feeling. I hope you got in some good time with your own pack this holiday! Maybe we can coffee sometime in 2025...

"It felt so great to be a different kind of person for a while." Indeed! There's something to be said for really taking a break. Thanks, as always, for sharing your writing here, and how exciting to be working regularly on a project! Looking forward to hearing more about that.
