It’s built in the seasons where life doesn’t feel inspiring at all. Where things are heavy. Where your mind tries to convince you that everything means something about you.

Nat GallowayBefore I became a parent, the world often felt hopeless, and for me, that feeling started early. I grew up in a military family and moved around a lot, including time in Germany in the years just after the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. Officially, the Cold War was over. In reality, the assumption that things could escalate hadn’t disappeared.
