I began writing two weeks ago because I was waking up anxious, unable to go back to sleep. Big changes were occurring in my life. I quit the job I dreamed about since I was 9. I’m six months into my first marriage. We’re taking steps to move to a city neither of us have lived in before — I’ve spent a grand total of 24 hours there to date.
