I love the way you hold space for the reality that is "there are no indicators that everything will be okay" while also focusing on savoring, enjoying, and delighting in the good that you do have control over. And I love reading your round ups. That baby blue balaclava looks amazing on you <3
Your recaps and the tidbits you share with us always so heartwarming to me so thank you! Creation Lake was…something, I’m happy you finished it because I couldn’t 😮💨
I ain't ever seen a girl look so cute in a balaclava - that colour blue suits you soooo much 🩵 love the purchases of Ring Shout and Bellies - such radically different vibes but two radically good books!!! love the novella adventure (omg) and I also saw an old school friend last week who i haven't seen on 5 years! nothing like a bit of gossip about people from school to keep you going 😌 its good for the soul
ahh thank you!! I'd love to hear more about what you mean re: thinking about it a different way. I read this comment yesterday and have been thinking about it since.
Mainly in regard to your story about reconnecting with your high school friend. I usually interpret extended silence from a friend as a period to the relationship. No reason to pick it back up. No reason to reconnect. But time is just time, and it isn't an indicator of how a person feels about you. You can still go out and have a great time, even if it doesn't lead to long-term friendship or reconnection. Within my own friendships, I usually do a clear break (a convo about mutual feelings about the relationship and how to move forward) to avoid any murkiness, but murkiness isn't always bad. Priorities shift, feelings change. Grace should be extended in relationships, no matter how close (or not) the friendship is. Connection doesn't have to be consistent to matter.
my parasocial relationship with final file lives on. Excited for your novella girl
haha thank you! excited for you to read

Joan Chen was incredible in Didi. I wish she had been nominated for her performance.
SAME. unthinkable that she wasn't. she was such a compelling character.
Always appreciate your vulnerability. Definitely made me think of friendship/connection in a different way. Very excited for your (budding) podcast!

Also a big fan of tea. Went to high tea with a friend on Friday and it was so worth it. Supporting your tea addiction from afar.
