An intermission

I am dedicating my 200th post to Corina, my son’s godmother and my and my partner’s companion in this journey called life.

On Monday of this week, my partner and I got married. Well … better to say, we came as close as the country we were born into would let us get to a legal union. My beautiful partner’s vows were: “This is my last will and testament.”

When the choice you have to make is between not showing up in the way your professional conduct tells you to and not showing up the way you need yourself to be to stay sane, and when you have been taught from early childhood that you should never consider yourself above duty … what is the path to take to be healthy?

This week, close to commemorating two years of a pandemic that has changed our lives forever, I am reminded that I am in fact … a service.

And just like that … a journey towards another myself started. Beautiful and scary at the exact same time.
