Last year, I learned I potentially needed a risky operation to remove a cranial tumor.
In this essay for
@REI
, I wrote about how biking helped me come to terms with the surgery and process the other hard parts of living with a rare chronic disease.

And as much as I advocate for better working conditions for journalists, I wouldn't trade my early experience for anything. I wrote stories I'm still really proud of, and I'm happy my early 20s were shaped by a desire to serve and to learn.

When the barista asks you whether you just came from the gym, you lie & say yes. It was 7 a.m., man. Matching my clothes was not a priority.

I'm not great at being emotional on Twitter, but suffice it to say this is a very special essay to me. It's not a story I ever thought I'd share, but writing about this part of my life helped me process things in much the same way biking did. Thanks for checking it out.

I thought long and hard about this on my walk home today. Major major props to
@RyanGClark
for speaking his support out loud and with such candor. But also ... THIS SHOULD BE THE NORM!!!
I have literally been thinking about this all evening and how Ryan is one of the few men I personally know who has posted something in this vein. We need those who cannot become pregnant in this fight too!!

For a moment just now, amid the chaos, I lost myself appreciating the golden rays pouring through my window. It's a moment I yearned for two months ago when I was grumbling about winter days, thinking *they* were a problem. If nothing else, this situation invites new perspective.
