The world is on fire and I am fighting to hold on to my natural optimism, but my (grown ass man) kid is creating his own path and doing amazing things.

Some days —many days—I am overcome by rage and sadness about the general state of things. I am paying attention and acting as best I can. But also: here’s my (grown ass man) son, starting his next chapter.

Happy 23rd Birthday to this tiny little dude. Yes, we drove to the hospital humming Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Friends. I left Twitter and I never look back. I have not gone back over there for any reason. Until now. My son has posted a wonderful thread about baseball, mental health, and personal growth that is worth reading. Or maybe I'm just a proud mom. Either way, go take a look. He's cool.

Everything is terrible and I am not okay, but I had SRO tickets to see one of my faves play music in NYC last night. And I danced and sang like I was 18. Every damn bone in my body hurts this morning. I can’t wait for next time. Music is not a luxury.
