My thirties were WAY better than my 20's, and after motherhood it took my 50's to live into my purpose outside of family. Now in my sixties I am struggling with entering a new phase of my life cycle, in a body that no longer feels, looks, or acts like me. I love that you are not looking away but feeling and dealing with the stages of your life - because that is what life is made of. It may pause for a time here and there, but it will crop up over and over as long as you have breath. You are an incredibly special person; I want you to embrace every moment you can.
love this (as always) and thank you so much for the shoutout! 💜🥹
can also attest that being 30 - even if you’re not feeling in the best place within or outside of yourself - still absolutely outranks your 20s (or god forbid, teens) by a wide mile. enjoy it, you’re only going to be even more amazing xxx
If you follow the lunar calendar instead of gregorian (who cares about some Pope Gregory, anyway??) you're actually 31 this month! If that helps at all, haha. I also wanted to comment that I went to the first Crypticon sometime in my teens, me and my "friend" (who has since came out as lesbian, we were having fun before the labels) snuck in pretending to be over 18 and watched a bunch of horror porn among other activities. I'll never forget it, it was the creepiest experience in some motel in Everett LOL. So glad they've expanded over the years!
BTW, I read all of these through my email. Love your vision and writing, always. <3
Omg that is wild! I don't think they show adult stuff anymore, there was a surprising number of kids there hahaha. But they do a lot of late-night movie showings each day of the con, so maybe that's where the less family-friendly stuff happens, lol.
It means so much to me that you enjoy this newsletter, thank you for the comment :'))

Love you so much Karin! :') I hope we can both enter these new phases in our lives with grace and support.
