The Sunday Edition is Tuesday’s little sister—off-the-cuff updates I’d bring up over a coffee catch-up with a friend.

Even my therapist admitted this week that she hates Valentine’s Day. I went all-in this year, approaching it with the same fervor as a second-grader heading to school with a decorated shoebox.

A few days later, I dove into some earnest self-love, finally checking the comments from this week’s Issue after giving them some breathing room and leaning into my own self-care.
