It wasn’t the first time! Please keep doing them.

I love your audio postcards! Recently played one to some high school students.

I like the point of 'what am I cultivating now that is not that stuff?' that you're used to identifying with. Few of us think enough about this ahead of time. Rather it hits us after we lose one of our identities, and we struggle.

even if you've been freelancing for years, it can still feel overwhelming, esp after a summer break or at new year's - it's like getting your backpack on and beginning to hike uphill.
