I asked the universe for more fun.
It delivered and then some...
I had an incredible night at Madame Zingara with sequins, acrobats, a four-course meal - actual pure unadulterated joy.
And also?
A low-grade panic attack in a room full of people pretending everything was fine while chaos unfolded two tables over with the drunkest woman alive.
Because hereโs the part no one tells you:
You can be in a beautiful moment
and still feel completely overwhelmed.
You can want more life
and still feel like you want to escape.
This weekโs essay is about that -
joy and anxiety, magic and overstimulation and learning that both can exist at the same time.
Also: thank you to everyone whoโs already ordered the May edition of Lucky Packet Post ๐
There are currently only 21 packages left and if youโre in Cape Town, theyโll be hand-delivered with care.
If youโve been craving something slower, softer, and a little bit magicalโฆ
youโll want to take a look.
Link for this week's essay and Lucky Packet Post is in my bio.
