Forever touched by your beautiful words. Happy birthday, angel! Loved the themes of "taste"--after all, you're the arbiter! I want to drink from your three of cups.

I’m 26 and I thought of 27 as a death year for 4 years of my life. I don’t feel that way anymore, it’s been a few years since I have. But it’s comforting to know, so poetically, that I wasn’t alone in feeling, and no longer feeling, that way

never alone, in that feeling or others

i'm at a particular time in my life where a lot of change is occurring and this actually made me tear up with how beautiful it was written and how many things were here that i needed so badly to hear. i have loved your substack for a while and i think i've been too shy about expressing that. incredibly worded and with lots of love! thank you :')
