Relate so much to feelings about loneliness! Also, one of my rough notes for a potential future Substack was 'Why do I prefer writing about myself? Is that bad?'. And I'll rephrase that, it's not that I PREFER it, it's that I find it so much easier. The words flow effortlessly when I'm writing about what I know, which makes that piece of writing much quicker to finish than say, an article where I asked 15 different interior designers about their favourite paint colour. I feel relieved when I'm writing about myself because it's not a slog, I don't need to google anything and I don't need to rely on anyone else to get it done. I do sometimes wonder how it looks from the outside and I worry that I'm oversharing at times, but I never, ever think that about other people. I just enjoy reading their viewpoints and understanding their experiences.
1) You’re not delusional - love is definitely in the air! (And it’s coming your way, baby!) 💕💕💕
2) Is the author you’re referring to Dolly Alderton? If so, love her too. And I don’t think writing about yourself is cringe, I think it’s courageous. Putting your authentic self out there and sharing vulnerabilities with us is a beautiful, brave thing!
If you like Trees you should refresh yourself with The Wasteland my truly favorite poem by TS Eliot. I'll be posting some of that Friday when I get to my newsletter. 😊❤️ happy spring!

Zara leather jacket from when Rose Quartz and Serenity were colours of the year?
I loved this! Especially the thoughts about loneliness being universal and beginning afresh!
