I am Jes.
I am full of muchness. I am an Ennegram type 1, the reformer. I am queer is so many ways and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love baking, hosting, learning, teaching, reading, gardening, and all things DIY.
I am an imperfect human being that strives to help everyone and everything be the best version of herself/himself/themself. I am becoming more skilled at humaning each day.
I am writing these blog posts to help me understand how I got to “here”.
If something inside you in real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write towards vulnerability. Don’t worry about appearing sentimental. Worry about being unavailable, worry about being absent or fraudulent. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. – Anne Lemott, Bird by Bird
