New gold and new you. I immediately looked up that song by Simple Minds, and started listening while I continued to read. Girl, you need to make this into a short film. Well, if you're in the mood. I can relate to you in many ways. It is so refreshing to hear such positive words uttered of my home state. Much respect, cheers from Southern California.
"The slow and quiet begins to reveal the possible. I need not be large and sweeping and famous and brash — I can live a dignified, small life and be the better of it."
Your writing is brilliant. Everyone I know who moved to the west loves this about it. You’re not judged.. they don’t care where you went to college or what neighborhood you lived in. What your parents did etc.
It does matter where you feel at home.. that’s all..
The way you flesh this all out sends chills all up and through me:
"Time passes and it feels as if it never happened. I make $25,000 in one month and my body is muscle and bone.
And then my mother dies and the mess of it, the wreck of it, the lack of closure in it is a curtain coming down around my body."
🙏🏽💙
Thank you, sweet friend.
You’re most welcome, lady. So very welcome.
Exquisite and heartbreaking. <3

Thank you. Although I’m not from here, this place feels like home.
