Just the other day I noticed I was rich. And, I say that so casually because it is not the type rich that we assume to be the only kind that exists.

I’ve been busy lately. Since August 2021 I’ve been on a new path to re-finding who the hec I am. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again for the sake of this story, I lost myself during the pandemic. i made the abrupt decision to leave california and come back to new york to be closer to family while I learned more about the depths of my anxiety and depression. And while the version of me before the pandemic would have been telling myself that I was taking 10 steps back, I was in such a dark place that post-pandemic tori knew that it would turn into 20 steps forward. (mostly because I can’t wrap my head around the idea of taking a path that wouldn’t lead to something greater.) All in all, it was. they were baby steps, but they were steps. And now I’m here. rich.
