Being a writer is the most embarrassing thing in the world! I write down the entire contents of my soul for validation! And then some editor will just be like no thanks!

My last read of 2025 was finishing Richard Siken's poetry collection "War of the Foxes".

It made me write again. Thank you. That's what I want writing to do: make me want to join the conversation.

I've heard it said that new, strong feelings of self-doubt are a precursor to creative growth. I really hope that's true. Off to write this first morning of the new year, and sending so much love out to you, my friends. Stay strong. Stay beautiful. Stay weird. 💙💙💙

New Year’s Eve can be heavy with expectations and can be quite anxiety inducing, (at least I've always found it to be). A friend has just shared this stunning poem with me and what a gentle, welcome shift in tone it is from the recaps and wraps and best ofs ❤️

“Companions without internal lives of their own — ‘happy slaves’ — and friendship without friction cannot address solipsism, only flatter us into believing our self-absorption is something else.”
