December 15

There are a lot of reasons to stay in the van for after school pickup (some better than others): too cold, too hot, too lazy, too introverted, too late. But here’s what’s also true:  Friends are the best, and I’m never sorry when I get out of the van. Human connection! Adult conversation! Fresh air and golden light! I’m thinking of making this the screensaver on my phone to remind myself that it’s worth it.
