This is me. No filter. Just trying to put one foot in front of another in the middle of a pandemic.

I’ve never been the “-est” at anything. Best, fastest, prettiest, etc. Except to my mother who is undoubtedly preparing an audible rebuttal list. Settle down, Mom.

But I have always been ready to make the most of everything. And I’m still trying. But it’s tough. Really tough.

It’s okay to say it’s tough. You don’t have to put on the rose-colored filter with me.
