this was so interesting to me to hear another perspective on the topic of sharing writing with our partners. as someone who has always had their partner read so much of my work before anyone else does, this really has me examining my intentions around that in a way i haven’t before. i really resonated with the idea of space, to writing without the element of how it will be perceived by those within arms reach. i also feel how tender it is to share something vulnerable too. so as always, a heartfelt thank you for this 💜
This is so beautiful and raw! The internet is such a strange world, obviously I don't actually know you, but now I'm so enthralled by this gentle revolution that I'm hanging out to know T's response!
(not something you gotta share, all the same) I hope it was received well and that you're stoked with yourself for sharing yourself. It's who you are!
Receiving this letter post PMS-weep was serendipity. Especially since the weep was related to my ongoing struggle to let those closest and dearest to me actually see my messy insides. I'm not so sure the internet does more harm than good either. Your letters certainly do more than their fair share of good. Thanks for letting us internet strangers see into your story Anna. It means a lot. Big hugs xoxo.
I don’t think I got a chance to mention it in my comment on your last letter, but I did also read and share that letter with my partner. He and I talked about it for hours. It was beautiful so thank you thank you. This letter too, the transparency, the openness, the truth, the beauty in sharing although scary and tough is what keeps me reading. It’s what keeps us all knowing there’s more of us out there sharing the same life experience.
mmm your nook of the interwebs has held me for so long. let me be careful of my sweeping generalizations of the tool that has brought so much abundant intimacy. this lil community is special and safe because of your willingness to share your depths. 🍜👩❤️💋👩
Girl, the internet is how I found your writing through my pal Erin's instagram. And your writing has helped me feel like less of an alien. What a gorgeous thing.
I live with my parents right now and I sent your last letter to my 70 year old Dad. He sees me go through my bleed each month and it’s always so painful and so emotional. Exhausting and unrelatable and I can see how he tries to understand but just can’t. Your letter gave me a way to show him inside. He read the whole thing and was grateful for the added perspective. Your words ripple on creating more support and connection over here in my little corner of the world and I just wanted you to know that and to share how grateful I am.
Also, if it’s not intrusive, I’m so curious how T responded… this letter ended and I was like wait, that’s it, what happened?! 😅
I always look forward to reading your letter
