I think I was 12 when I first began dissecting myself into the sections of the trifold mirror. When I was younger, I would take the same mirror and bend it just so - just so I could see myself moving forever into the background - forever and ever - just more me’s cacading into eternity.

Unicorns and Backbacks
To my daughter: There are a few big moments in life - pieces that shape who we are and where we’re going. I can’t say for sure if kindergarten is one of them, but hey, I mean it’s still a big milestone. It was the year 2020 - and man what a year. That was the year the Coronavirus devastated the country - you called it the “Big Sick” which is both ridiculously adorable as well as horribly depressing. You started kindergarten wearing a mask over your gap-toothed smile and being forced to practice social distancing from the friends you were just beginning to make. I didn’t imagine your first year of school this way, but your bright eyes and skipping steps filled my heart with endless amounts of pride and joy.
