For millennials who share a vaguely similar worldview to my own, there is an implicit question that lies underneath any pregnancy announcement. It’s not always spoken, but heavily implied: How can you bring another life into all this?
Thank you so much Rosie. Your words made me cry this morning and helped center me in the beauty of human suffering. I've grown convinced the only way to truly understand human life is to understand human suffering, and your piece (and work more broadly) helps me gain deeper insights into the wonderful and soul-expanding catastrophes of being alive.
Life's longing for itself

This spoke to me so deeply. Thank you.
A very thoughtful piece which resonated with me as I ponder what life holds for my four month old granddaughter.
