I love your metaphor of mixed paint, Kayti. "Everything I touch turns brown" = astounding. The depth of these five words is not lost upon me.
I think what affects me most is seeing how you are exploring the paradoxes of emotion, as I have been, and that, despite the downs, you acknowledge the ups.
Yesterday I finished reading a memoir, Fat Girl by the late Judith Moore (which was excellent, well written), but she ended her story with hopelessness. I realize that's how it is sometimes, that the end of a story dangles frighteningly close to giving up.
But what happens is that I need the hope. I need the reason, even if there is none. I am the type who simply must keep searching until I can find even a faint ember of a glow that indicates not all is lost. The possibility of redemption is what keeps me going.
And you offer it in your words every week. Thank you.
This is beautifully written and I so needed it at this moment. Have you thought of writing a book where all your writings can be captured? Sometimes I find myself experiencing a challenging day and I think.. I need to read one of Kayti’s writings…. They always hit home and it often feels like they are speaking to me.
