There's no update today, but I am for the first time spending the holidays alone. I doubt I'm the only one, so I felt inspired to say that if you are (for now) alone — or even with company and lonely anyway — then we are alone together. I am and will be thinking of you.

On my most recent birthday I was meditating and checking in with some of my parts when I realized “Hey, it’s your birthday too. Happy birthday!” Wide-eyed, this first part came to the same realization which quickly escalated into a parade of little kids visiting all the other little kids to wish each other happy birthday. It was silly and adorable and beautiful and I think I’ll do something similar with them for the holidays.

Take good care, friends.
