Loved this essay Jen. And I loved your ending:

“Maybe we’re here to make it meaningful. Unpredictable. Exploratory. Worthwhile.”

Amen.

(BTW: I’m boarding a flight home from Waikiki right now. Missed you this year ❤️)

James, I was just thinking of how we got to meet up a year ago today! A part of me would be lying if I didn't say I wish I could hop over there for a quick dip in the Pacific. I hope you enjoyed.

And yes, I'm trying my best to live this way even though the mind so badly wants to latch onto a false sense of certainty.

Impermanence is the only certainty isn’t it? When we keep this in the front of our mind, and in our heart, it nails us to the present and living life as fully as we can in the moment.
