Lean On Me

The holidays are baaaaaaack. Traffic patterns are different, grocery stores are mobbed, my important emails are bouncing back with an automatic out of office reply. I know how to navigate through the holiday season, but I don’t love it. I’m not sure by whose side I belong. Yes. it’s a hard time to be single. Or maybe it’s a hard time to be in a relationship, and dealing with all the family obligations. Could be, it’s a hard time, period. With this as context, I was relieved to see artwork by Harland Miller, as a reminder that the fantasy of the devoted partner is most often just that.
