Your bathroom coffee made me smile so big. What a real and beautiful and much needed (for me) reminder that devotion to our art sometimes requires the changing of our small rituals and patterns and locations of being. I am so grateful you started this Substack; your words have been some of my favorites over the past year.
I love receiving your newsletter and it helped me to feel confident enough to start my own for each roll of film I get developed. less shyness, more sharing. THANK YOU! xo
Happy birthday, Unsupervised! Your words have changed me as a writer with a social media presence, an observer, a lover, a friend, a woman, a human being and a reader. You are what I call a ācomfortable influencerā, although an influencer isnāt what you are, but whenever I question my feelings towards social media creators or creators that use social media, I try to find those that show me that existing in the digital world and being exposed to other peopleās choices, failures and successes can feel comfortable. Thereās no feeling of comparison when I read your newsletters, just deep empathy. Wishing you lots of luck in the adventures youāre seeking, Anna!
Grateful for your words and work, your prose and presence, your willingness to keep turning closer and closer toward yourself and sharing what it's like. Happy one year š¤
congratulations, anna! and thank you. iām going to start a substack because i think itāll make me feel more proud of myself - and i want to be. thanks for the go ahead and looking forward to many more years :)
Your writing has the talent of making me feel every single word, even though English is not my native language. Still here freely, hopefully my own writing allows me to become paid in a time soon.
"I did not know that one year later, I would have almost 11,000 readers. I did not know that a devoted writing practice would help me fine tune the process that is living my life. I did not know that the more I write, the more I want to write. I did not know that so many people, people I may never meet, would support me to do that writing, and that it would be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was just doing what I had to do." -You inspired me to keep going. You reminded me that hard work does take you to a place you've never imagined. I loved reading your Substack. Thank you !
I really, really love this. Especially May. Thank you for existing and doing your work and the willingness to trust yourself. Huge fan here lol.
