So beautifully written, Andy. I love the vignettes of your friends and the tiny beauties (yet also responsibilities) of adulthood like the steak marinating and the plants wilting if they're left behind. You truly have a gift at making the unspoken tangible. Like, the way you capture the weight of everyday life, alongside the richness of relationships, feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. It's a stunning reflection of how our connections and possessions quietly shape our world.
This was so beautiful. I felt this as I’ve gotten the itch to move yet again lately and wondered if my need to move every couple of years is deeper than just wanting a change of scenery.
this moved me to tears. the cadence of your words was like reading your heart beat through a screen.
Thank you for seeing me, Melanie 💚
I could have read five more chapters of this — you’re such a gifted writer 🤎
Thank you so much, Jessica. This means the world 💚

Thank you for reading, Ashleigh! I had to have the same conversation with myself very recently. Two things can be true, right? 🙃
