span of time when someone has lived is clearly stated, and you have to understand their lifeline through a hyphen. ​ We make the future in the now. What are we going to do now? ​ Time does work in a cyclical way. It's not as linear as we like to think that it is, and that's what astrology tends to highlight.

After each draft, I found myself asking "...why?," and I scratched them out and started over. but the truth is that that's not really what's occupying my mind these days…so, this month, as with every month, I'll give you what's actually on my mind. It's August now, and I have so few memories of doing anything this year. I've had a lot of group chats, FaceTime calls, phone calls, video calls, and even a few trips out of town, but those memories all feel translucent somehow, like I could put my hand right through them.
