I stumbled onto your post this morning from Evil Witches, and am so thankful for this post and your writing. The Wild One in me has had to get creative this last year, too, so I can satisfy an urge to be spontaneous and free without leaving my family or bringing COVID home. It’s mostly been driving to get clandestine desserts, secret only because I don’t want to tell anyone where I’m going or negotiate what to bring home. It wasn’t enough, but it was something.
Welcome Evelyn! It's so interesting that you also feel the not telling is necessary. I'm not totally sure what it's about for me, maybe just having something all to myself, not being tracked in any way. Somehow even those small things can feel monumental.
Such a deeply moving, wildly courageous post Sarah... made me cry and laugh and cry again. I've come to appreciate that the continuing 'not quite satisfied' wild woman is deep and vital resource... she calls to me too and reminds me not to forget to come looking for her even if running away is not really an option.

Yes! Interesting to think of it as a resource, I like that word choice. Like "this is something I should be pulling from"
