Curiosity and care. That's my whole, entire north star, really.
To tell stories honestly, creatively, with my whole chest, is an act of love. Not always a comfortable act of love. There's a tedium to this work that makes me question if my brain even functions sometimes. But that's the beauty of it. Pushing through. Sitting with it. Daydreaming my way back to the thing I can't live without.
