There’s something sacred about how she talks — like she’s reminding you that soft doesn’t mean small. “The present is a present” hit me in that quiet part of me I usually don’t show people. Might be my new mantra.

This piece is a love letter to being fully human—messy, tender, nostalgic, evolving. Mackenzie’s answers feel like poems disguised as conversation. There’s so much care in the details (the Swedish Dream Sea Salt, the childhood scent of rubber handballs, a bowl of matzo ball soup as an embrace). The line that really got me: "I no longer regret the way I showed up for someone who didn't show up for me." That’s quiet, hard-won freedom.

This series, an important question, isn’t just beautiful—it’s necessary. Please keep going.
