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 ❤️
