Maybe Physical Stuff Is Overrated →
Early in 2016, I went to the post office and bought plenty of stamps. One strip of Valentine’s Day hearts. One strip of “Winter Fun.” After pledging — very publicly! — to be more intentional about mailing cards and gifts to my loved ones, I was sure that I would use up those stamps quickly.
It’s November, nearly December, and I still have half of those stamps. Luckily, the snowman stamps are coming back into season now. I felt a little funny using a Valentine’s Day heart to mail off a rent check in July. The sheet of stamps are a far too on-the-nose physical representation of my failure at my Best Self in 2016 resolution.
