Thank you for telling this story ☺️ I feel less alone knowing that I’m not the only one who can’t define herself through one thing. Funnily enough, I read this while having to write a short bio for myself, something I always procrastinate doing. I used to “cut” what I did into boxes to fit an expected narrative - I don’t do that anymore. And when I started my ‘newsletter’, I took a similar approach - I just wanted a corner not defined by labels or marketing strategies, just a personal corner where I could do and be whatever I felt at that moment. I mostly write for myself, a selfish act at its core, I guess. So, long story short, thank you - it truly resonates with a lot of moments in my life & stories I tell about/to myself.
I will surely miss your newsletter; the turn of the year is just around the corner. And I become accustomed to start my Sunday reading your letter. I just turned 41 and I feel so much of what you write personally, but it’s not just about this. Is about the knowledge you share, the nudges to better understand some notions and aspects of the daily events. I am not a journalist, and not a writer, but I will miss your letters for their tone and hope, that kindness that comes throughout them.

Thank you so so much, Alice!

Thank you so much, Florina. I am thinking about how they might/could continue, and messages like this one help.
