Six Sentences After Four Years
I came back from the walk, opened the laptop, and sent the email. After four years of mental drafts, what I actually typed was about six sentences.
The Email I Keep Not Sending
She's asked me every December for four years if I've thought about going independent. The answer is now yes. I haven't told her yet.
The Names I've Been Keeping in My Head
I've been carrying approximately seven names around for four months, maybe eight, without writing any of them down.
Forty-Seven Minutes
The call was supposed to be twenty minutes. Terri answered my three questions. Then she asked me one I couldn't answer.
What Do You Say When Someone Says Yes
Terri texted back. Now I have to figure out what I'm actually asking.
Asking for Help Before You're Ready
It took me nineteen hours to write a thirty-one word text message.
Six Hundred Contacts and No One to Call
I scrolled through every LinkedIn connection I have looking for one safe person to call.
