I just love your advice to this person but especially the part about “move dog up in the timeline” i say this as a whole hearted dog person, but also as a person who dogs have helped make whole- you know, the whole “who saved who” trope. There is a different thing in being friends with another species to know that love. It’s also a great way to make friends/meet people, be out there on behalf of this other creature but also yourself. thanks for another great newsletter ! i love this.
younger reader here feeling heavy pressure from an imagined romantic timeline (def has a little to do with the straight people i know getting married at ages 22-26), your putting in perspective the idea that life changes and begins for us in different ways at unexpected points was important for me to hear. the great mystery of life can be as hopeful as it is daunting ❤️
