A couple weeks ago, I wrote about my time in Michigan and how it wasn’t the weekend I was hoping it would be. I’ve been feeling misunderstood and unheard in my career, in my friend groups, and in my family. I’ve been pushing myself to write because I truly haven’t felt like it in a while, but I know it’s good for me to get my feelings out of my head.
I’m extremely grateful for Alex, who has continued to try new things with me, explore new places with me and has encouraged me to do what I love most. The friends I’ve made through him feel like family and I’m forever grateful to them and him for that.
Even when times are uncertain and things feel rocky, there are people who care about you and love you. I need to remind myself of that, too.
Traveling with the Traceys 
I’ve always been different—living through a lifetime of being misunderstood, overlooked, and brushed aside, even in places where I gave everything I had, like work. I know it’s next to impossible to ignore such treatment, but for what it’s worth, I think you’re pretty darn cool. 🙂

Awww Emily! Thank you so much, and I feel the same about you! 🥹🤗 Even the brightest stars can be dimmed sometimes, but we have to surround ourselves with people who make us feel uplifted (and we have to uplift ourselves, too!)
