What’s a zine? What’s a doula?

we trust you. you have known yourself longest of anyone you’ve ever known.
you have spent all of your life exploring your heart, your mind, your limits, your
loved ones, your future, your family, your past, your strengths and your fears--all of the
complex, invisible strings stuffed inside of you. you explore them each day, with every
action and you know them. you know them better than us, better than anyone who may
claim to know. you know all of the invisible strings pulling you from the outside, too. all
of those complexities of life, the directions they pull in. the strength with which you meet
them and how they each interact with all of the strings inside of you. every single one of
our choices, including today’s, might be different, if those strings were different.
