What does it feel like to be you?
You can read some of the responses we've gotten already, including Kellie's essay.
Hit 'reply' and I'll share your responses on the site over the next few weeks. I generally share these posts on Sundays, if you're keeping track. If you'd like your response to be anonymous or private, just let me know.
Until next week,
