How I’m finally embracing my slow
Slow seems to be the way that works for me, despite my best efforts.
Happy Sunday, Soothers. I have decided to just claim: I am a person who processes the world and moves through it slowly. I make decisions slowly. I need all the time in the world both in larger decisions and in the day to day (like, three hours each morning to do my own thing sort of time). I do best when I have nearly nothing to do in a given day. Slow.

I need days to recover after travel.
