So I love how you describe how focused your students were when you described the common feeling of being self-conscious or have a mood swings. It makes us understand that it’s not just us. I’m going to practice your thought of taking off my headphones this morning, and observing five things on my bike ride. I’ll let you know. Love you.

Also how you know you have a crush: Are you obsessing over them? Are you building them up in your head b/c there’s a lot of missing information? JAJAJAA

I just saw Bottoms which I highly recommend , and it reminded me how glad I am that I am not navigating the land of searching, longing for romantic love - which a crush seems so vulnerable . I just read Waldinger nonfiction the good life and he suggested taking a picture of us when we were half our age - I wonder what I would tell my seventh grade self on the first day of school ?

Loved your poem and the last line about contradictions
