I think there’s a part of us that thinks we have to be productive every day and when we’re not our days aren’t worth anything. I think we have to shift this capitalistic way of looking at working at our life. We just have to enjoy the beauty of what we do otherwise, it is all judgement and judgement doesn’t make us happy. Life is what it is and it’s not always productive. It just is and the more I look at my unhappiness more I realize it is about this judgement.

Maggie- SO funny- just on my walk today I started pondering some sort of variation of the title of my book to be: "...when you keep thinking that you'll be drinking lemonade, but it still feels like lemons"... So it's wild that I just came across your article with lemons in the title! I love the title by the way! ...But also I loved your frank story telling in this piece. I mean it's just like that song: "momma told me there'd be days like this"...#truth... This line in particular was so on point: "you're in everyone's way, and no one is in your way because you don't have a way..." Such a relatable feeling is captured in that image and sentiment...
