Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

Today felt a little weird, so I’m talking it out: gratitude-filled prayer, a workout with my playlist, recording more of The Wind in the Willows, encouraging my neighbor and a classmate, and trying to remember that progress does not always look conventional. I’m also dreaming up Sunday dinner: pineapple ribs, coleslaw, and honey-butter cornbread, and reminding myself that I am building something e...

Today I’m talking about my personal signs of success: a refrigerator stocked with a full cornucopia of drinks, a pantry full of food I genuinely want, Christian Louboutin sneakers that do not look like they “came from the factory,” and the freedom to buy groceries without doing budget math first.
