so this is...so long?

As August slipped quietly into September, this newsletter celebrated its first year. I never imagined anything would come from this outlet other than using it as a form of catharsis — being open about some of my pain, as well as a lot of my (mostly funny) misfortunes. Being transparent was always the goal and I’m proud of myself for putting so much of my heart and soul into this place. Many of you have reached out throughout this year to encourage me to continue writing, as well as thank me for the vulnerability that has been the thread and theme of “so long, Sue”.

With that being said, my life is pulling me in a direction that will be taking me away from this online space. While I will continue to write, and hope to contribute to the literary world in some format again in the future, for now I have to ride the tide of where this life is leading me. For a long time I’ve felt a necessary pull to remain more private about my personal experiences and I will be doing that moving forward.

All paid subscriptions have been paused. This space will remain open for the time being for anyone would like to revisit or re-read. Thank you all so much for believing in me. I love you.
