Lately I’ve been doing interviews for my new book, and I keep getting some variation of the same question: How do you stay hopeful?
In truth, a lot of the time I’m not.

This is just a psa in case anyone doesn’t know that there are still 3 active meteor showers happening! Get yourself away from city lights after dark, let your eyes adjust for 30 minutes and just look up!
