I was in an AAPI group meeting and the ice breaker question was, what fruit sums up your life this year? I said I was a mango.
That even though the best of me is supposed to be in the summer I still exist now out of season.
This summer was horrible (I lost my job and my baby dog of 15 years), but it did also usher in a new season of life for me. I’m very thankful to have landed on my feet, and more. But looking forward to next summer again.
