The Coldest Girl in Cold City

Sometimes you’re a pulverized raw garbage ball of feelings.
Sometimes you’re the coldest girl in Cold City.

“This is why it hurts the way it hurts.
You have too many words in your head. There are too many ways to describe the way you feel. You will never have the luxury of a dull ache.
You must suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much” -I. Thomas

As a Nurse Practitioner in Seattle, I am being re-deployed to the areas with the greatest need for clinicians. Today is the last day I will walk out of my clinic. I don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring. I am begging you, do your part right now. This is going to get worse before anything else.
Practice social distancing, wash your hands, stop buying 46 rolls of toilet paper, but above all, be kind.

Every time you decide you are above the restrictions, you are directly fighting against all of us in the business of keeping as many people alive as possible.
Do👏Your👏Part.
