voice note #25: starting my life over in hawaii

Recorded - Jan 6 . 2025 hello you beautiful people !!!! i missed VN-ing you so let’s walk & talk. <3333 — Written - Jan 8 . 2025 it’s 9:46am and i’m currently sitting my boney little booty on a cold, lonesome barstool in the san diego airport and sippin’ a buenaveza as I wait to board my flight to CABO!!!! (airport beers don’t count, right?!?!) we’re off to celly my bestie for finding an angel man who loves her so much that he agreed to put up with her antics for the remainder of LIFE! i am so damn exited. it’s been MONTHS since i’ve gotten the chance to enjoy some quality girl gang time… between all the moving and travel and life just life-ing, getting together with my all my girls in one place has become a rarity. looking back, i don’t think i really understood how special it was to be a girl in her 20s, living in the city just a block (or lil train ride) away from all my friends… and the older i get, like the deeper i grow into womanhood, the more i realize how important female friendships are and where i’ve fallen short. so take this as a sign to call your bestie and spill some tea and have some giggles!!! anywayzzzzz i have a shopping / packing meltdown voice note I’ll send you guys next tweeeek once i’m back in my body ᵕ̈ i’m currently reading I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally and so far, it doesn’t suck… though, i will say i’m on chapter 7 and it is pretty depressing haha. i haven’t read a memoir in a minute but i saw my friend’s husband’s dad reading this on vaca and minetta tavern is one of my favorite restaurants so it got my attention… nothing like a lil NYC lore! aside from that i’ve been beaching and eating and loving and reading and music-ing and hiking and creating and doing my best to figure out this new thingy i’m doing called island life… god i have so much to share - idk where my head has been!!! we’ll run it back next week.

Voice Notes #22: listen up fun suckers

Brown bagging cherries to the mouth. Fingers sticky with Swiss chocolate melting down my hands. There’s no AC in Europe. I’m sweaty, jacked up on sugar, and stupidly happy on this summer Sunday. I hand picked each cherry at the local market in Basel and my mother-in-law hand picked this chocolate bar just for me. These cherries know how much I love them and my bonus mom knows how much I love chocolate. To be seen is its own kind of mercy. I’ve been thinking about being nice. And how sometimes you need to be mean to be actually nice. And how mean-nice is way more real than nice-mean. And that I’d love to see more of that on Substack. Or anywhere, really. I woke up this morning to a notification from a stranger named Whit [https://substack.com/@hottakesandbadtiming] (who I now subscribe to) and to say she made my day would be an understatement. SO today we sing. Today we dance. Today we eat cherries with our hands while chocolate drips down our fingers like feral little joy drunk squirrels and send bottomless sunbeams to the energy vampires still hiding behind their shade. Because smelling like pit stains and chocolate is way more fun than suffocating under bullshit vernacular. cry with me ♡♡♡ SEE U NEXT WEEK XOXO <333333333 for the underdogs (and honestly all dogs) ((including hot dogs)) This is a public episode.
