This essay is really good food for thought about all of it. And for me less content is more for sure (something I've been working on since the pandemic and have made progress)
This part resonated -bc when my daughter went back to school this last time I sent her with a multitude of jackets and gloves and medicines and vitamins and way more than she needed for her 1970s tiny dorm room 😂
"Sundays were leaving days headed back to my college apartment. Mom always tried to overburden me with everything under the sun that I might need. “I know you have a flashlight, but you might need another,” she might have said. I am grateful now and even then."
Thanks for reading. I hope the story makes people think. As for content, I was writing lots more and publishing every three days or so. I thought to myself this is what people deserve who subscribe. But, everyone agrees that this is not the way to go. I relented. Usually my instinct is wrong.
And I appreciate what Mom did, but I was just trying to not feel overwhelmed. Anyway, yes one can never have too many gloves, especially in the South where it rarely gets cold enough to wear them. But I am glad people like you exist who are caring.
