This is the speech I wrote (and gave) for my one sister’s wedding in the spring of 2022. I gave it the night before the wedding at the Rehearsal Dinner.

How I taught myself to process emotions. This piece includes gentle guidance for your own difficult emotions.

This poem runs through my head like a mantra often. Xo, E.

written when I was falling in love with Damien (see Chapter One). A poem I love to this day.
