Hi! Remember me? If you don’t, I’m so sorry. God this is humiliating.
I tried to do the newsletter thing a while ago and it ultimately didn’t last too long because I treated it like a homework assignment and I was also quite depressed. I wasn’t feeling fulfilled by my job at the time and I tried using a newsletter as an outlet to prove to myself and others that I could put out work I was proud of, and also because everyone else was doing it. As is the case with most things I try because everyone else was doing it, it didn’t work out the way I’d hoped.
The good news is that right now I’m pretty fulfilled by my job and my mental health is in a good place. But I like having an opportunity to write just for fun, and it’s healthy for me as long as I keep expectations low. So, welcome to my revamped newsletter, where I’ll occasionally discuss whatever’s been on my mind. It’ll be a bit less music-focused — although I’ll likely throw in a playlist or some relevant YouTube embeds — and more just about my life and what I’m thinking about, because I’m an only child and I’m really good at talking about myself to nobody.
Stay if you’d like; leave if you wouldn’t. The whole point is that I’m not putting any pressure on myself or on you.
Your friend from online,
Abby
