Happy to share this little piece I wrote during @smokelong.bsky.social’s March Micro Marathon.

Two things can be true: It’s a Wonderful Life is a great movie that will still make me cry no matter how many times I see it, and Mary’s terrible alternate reality fate being that she works in a library and wears glasses is unintentionally hilarious.

"I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try." ~ Nikki Giovanni
