Sun, Oct 19: Trying, trying, trying...

First newsletter!

If you’re reading this:

Hi, you matter <3

2025 has been a rough year on a number of levels.

For instance, my chronic issues have been flaring up rather fiercely as the weather/season changes, which is frustrating mainly in how much it slows me down/keeps me from doing the things I want.

But it’s not over yet. I’m slowed down, not stopped.

I’m glad you’re here reading this, because you’re so special and important to me. The world is a brighter place with people like you in it.

To my future self:

Seeing you,
