euphoria

i'm ready for the spring :)

Okay, I am back for good this time. To explain my prolonged absence - I had a full-time job in a meaningless but exhausting role I hated for just under a year that sucked away everything that I enjoyed doing such as reading, writing, learning etc. I quit that job in September and I’ve been having a very hard time financially, yet I am still happier than I was when I had that job. I haven’t been myself in a long time. That’s changing now. I’m reading again. I’m writing now. I’ve just started a newsletter called Moments of Being where I discuss literature, art, fashion, culture, music… and a lot of personal reflections too. 

What would people want from a newsletter? Guidance on studying? On writing? Discussions around books I am reading? If you have any suggestions or requests I’d love to hear them! Sorry for being gone so long <3
