Fauna is all of us at one point or another. Buried deep in our minds in spiraling thought of the next move. Contemplative.

Esme is our honest selves. Being true to one’s self. Unbothered.

I love that you are writing fiction! The description of the shop with the a/c and the tv going as well as the aluminum foil/candy/motor oil/dinner plates inventory. I know that place.

Love this post Rachel! I see a lot of myself in Fauna--a lot of second guessing and over-contemplating.
