seeing this in my email inbox is like waking up and there’s a steaming coffee and a treat on the kitchen counter and no explanation as to how it got there. and i feel an overwhelming gratefulness and good fortune that such a thing can happen in life. thank you for these.
The way I sprinted over to read this when I got the email notification :)
I love hearing your thoughts on Middlemarch and I am excited to see how you interact with it as the plot progresses. So much juiciness, I gasped at least three times throughout the book. I wish I didn't relate to Dorothea, but it is actually terrifying how much I do. And very intrigued by No Fault, even more so because it is recommend by Rebecca. And the description of your hike! The porcupine taking a nap! Always love hearing your words, thank you for sharing :)
You are the best, Julie. I simply can't wait to keep reading and reacting. I am surprised by how much I'm laughing out loud. And I can understand why people relate to Dorothea or see her as a warning to their younger selves. I think I just have an abnormally inflated sense of self. That's the only thing I can think of that makes her a difficult character for me. That and her religiousness which I find familiar, growing up in an evangelical school/church/household, though it was something I tended to question more than Dorothea.
I feel like you'd love hiking out here! I know it, actually. But until you get out here and we can hike together, I hope you continue to enjoy my photos and musings from the trail.

Travis, this is exactly how I feel when listening to unfuck my mind—like, how did this little gift get here? I should be thanking you.
