"Historically speaking, I've always had a crush." SAME, this whole piece spoke directly to my soul.

evana, u don't know how much i've been obsessing over your writing these past few weeks. this one resonated, the idea of someone being a geode and not a rock. god, it's so beautiful that it hits home. i love the references, footnotes, every bit! i hope you're doing well with your other projects. if u ever turned on paid subs, i won't hesitate to join! :))

Evana, I'm continually blown away by how similar we are. I guess it makes sense that we both fell into the bleeding heart of Conor Oberst 😅💫 There are names in your footnotes I don't recognise and I look forward to learning about them. "My heart needed to harden from others’ carelessness and soften from my own cautious optimism along the way." -- This absolutely needed to happen for me, and it was painful but oh-so-necessary. How tragic and beautiful it is to be a romantic. I would settle for nothing less. Happy Valentine's 🤍
