It's Not That Bad #1: Hello! My first newsletter! Exciting!

An essay on being bored, a new poem and some things I'm enjoying.

Hello, hi, hiya, howdy,

Here I am, in newsletter form. How exciting! I’ve been meaning to start one for a *long* time but in my typical Type A perfectionist style, I kept putting it off because what would I say? And how would it differ from the billion other newsletters out there? And would I actually have time to do it regularly??! But, it’s a grim December, I’m stuck inside and every week (actually, most days), I have something I want to write or ramble about that doesn't fit anywhere - I don’t like long IG captions (I spend my day job on social media so the last thing I want to do is write an essay on my phone), the thoughts aren’t really ‘feature’ worthy so can’t live on the publications I write for, and they’re far too silly n self-indulgent to home on FGRLS CLUB. So, welcome to my very first newsletter! Sometimes it’ll be personal essays, sometimes it’ll be poems, sometimes it’ll be things I just wanna share. The first one, is all three.
