Safe travels! I loved finding you on Instagram before you were married. Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, but so teary knowing you're leaving. Also, LOVE how much we hear your therapist’s voice in this, I'm taking notes. Change is hard and you've made this so nostalgic, comforting, and hopeful all at once. Wishing you the best and more posts!
This piece felt like it was written directly for me.
A little over a year ago, I moved with my husband from Houston back to my small hometown in Louisiana. For a long time, I had very mixed feelings about the decision. My biggest questions were always: Would he like it here? Would I still like it here?
Your description of the flooding memories gave language to something I hadn't been able to articulate myself. That section captured so much of what that period felt like emotionally.
Now, a year later, I can honestly say the move has been one of the most healing chapters of my life. Reading your piece reminded me of that. Thank you for sharing it so honestly.
Wishing you all the best. It was a lovely piece. ♡

I do have to ask- what or where is the Viagra Triangle 😄
It's this small area of nightclubs downtown where older men try to shoot their shot with much younger women
This is so sweet. Chicago and Kansas are both incredible.
