This resonates so much! You're really wonderful at the acts of service (I know firsthand!) All your wisdom here is authentic, thought-provoking, and powerful. Love your writing, Erika!
Some days I am a parker and others I am a driver. I do long for those big moments of accomplishment knowing that I "made it." And then there are days where I am smiling while I am stuck in LA traffic just happy that I made it to California at all. When the longing hits, I will actually listen to Vienna by Billy Joel because it both validates those parker feelings while reminding you to be the driver.
So stuck in Parker Mode that my first thought was "I need a metaphorical locking mechanism to keep the gearshift in Drive" not the point, not the point...
these are like letters from my wiser big sister 🤍
