Your latest Quarantine Update finds me exhausted, 40 pounds lighter and in a contemplative mood:
I am complete but never finished. I have a lot to say, but not a single thing to prove. It took me a long time to figure that out.
This has been an incredibly difficult year but despite the fear, grief, helplessness, stress, and sadness I’ve felt since March, I’ve tried to focus on gratitude for its many joys: an abundance of love…knowing that I am divinely cared for…joining BBVA and seeing the power of words during simultaneous crises…being heard all over on NPR…the Barbie piece…being accepted into a competitive writing workshop…and finally growing my hair to my bra strap. (The pandemic has not reduced my vanity.) As for the rest: I’m enduring and surviving it. With God’s help, I’ll make it.
Despite so much uncertainty, I’m at peace with myself. And I’m looking forward to the best that is sure to come.
Love, Alexis
