“I harbor a certain flavor of shyness that just precludes showing a lot of skin (though apparently not one that precludes elaborate disclosures of my inner world on the internet). It’s nuanced.” lol love this!

Jess, not to sound strange, but I for one really appreciate your emotional nudity on the internet. <3 "It's nuanced," indeed!! Lol, but seriously, I loved your writing ten years ago, and I still love it now. Your reflections are honest and sincere and relatable, even when you're putting yourself in situations I don't think I would ever find myself in and in fact would actively avoid. I respect and admire and support you, as always! I too am not a sauna person! Thank you for writing, and thank you for sharing. <3
