starting again
hello, world.
it’s been a few months since you’ve all received one of these, and i apologise to everyone who expected weekly newsletter notifications from their email. i really, really do. i’ve missed writing these more than you can imagine.
sometime between october and november 2022, i stopped writing for a while, and pretty much disappeared from every social platform i was on as well, so it makes sense that my first newsletter back talks about it a little.
consistency is always something i’m talking about— you have to be consistent with posting, it’s the only way to grow your page, you don’t have to write entire paragraphs every day but you do need to write some words— they’re all things i meant… until i stopped, and didn’t even write a word.
i don’t know how to explain what happened except to say that i disappeared somewhere inside of myself, and one week turned to two, turned to three, turned to four months. i tried putting the words together multiple times in the first few weeks, and ended up so frustrated that i discarded it altogether. i still can’t write about what i couldn’t find the words for back then, but i’ve decided to focus instead on what’s coming instead of what’s passed.
for me, that looks like starting again, one poem at a time. picking up where i left off with writing my debut poetry collection. working on making merch for you. building this community i’ve come to know as another home. reaching many, many more of you incredibly patient people who’ve stuck with me through the months.
that’s it for today, guys. if you’re a writer, artist, or creator in any way, and this has somehow reached you, i hope you know that it’s okay to disappear for a while. it’s okay to go offline. it’s okay to live off the grid. some things are more important than your engagements dropping and your follower counts going low, but also please remember to come back. everyone else’s lives go on without you, but yours waits.
live it.
keep an eye on all my socials for more!
