Your Fellow Human

What responsibility do you have to understand someone else?

Today I want to introduce you to Riam, this human with a profound ability to absorb and learn, and an even more tangible ability to let life give her permission to be lived on her own terms; she is someone who shows up for her friends and will often make you laugh 

We chat about what it means to be human, to learn to live with regret, to make choices and let our actions understand consequence and outcome, how she bases so often a decision on what comes after instead of what is right now 

She shares how she wishes life came with a guidebook, how grief compounded can be too much because it never really leaves us, and how forgiveness has shifted from obligation to character in her life 

We chat about what it means to step into your own choices and not what is expected, the reality of hope, how it is not a given in everyone’s life, and how addiction humbles when we choose to heal 

Riam is to me like a little sister that is somehow a bit cooler than me, one that might make me roll my eyes with what comes out of her mouth in one breath and learn from her in the next 

So tune in and meet this human, one that values humanity and will remind you how real and ok it is to live the life in front of you and learn it as you go 

And to you Riam thank you, thank you for sharing your time, your thoughts, your honesty and openness, and the way it makes my day when we have our little chats together
