this was wonderful. your writing always makes me EMOTIONAL. it makes me think and feel. i'm someone who honestly hates winter and longs for eternal summer; i connect with your ideas of sadness in regards to winter but i also agree that it's, like, a peaceful thing. i agree with your hopper stuff- i feel like he's not exactly grappling with loneliness in his work, more sitting with it, living with it. i think it's so true of you to point out how feelings are not supposed to have value, they're simply feelings. from my perspective it seems like you're living primarily in the moment. you're looking at sadness/winter right there in front of you, which is so interesting and also thoughtful and strong? i'm trying to become someone who doesn't disvalue the bad feelings in life, so this really hit me. thanks for writing it, sha :-)
ahhh alex your thoughts on my thoughts often have this uncanny ability to make me see them in an even clearer light, and i find myself latching onto how simply but crucially you put a sentiment i wrestled with — like yes, sometimes it truly is just about looking at what's in front of you in the moment without bludgeoning it any one way to be something just because you need it to matter. thank you so much for this, always and forever 🤍
reading this with envy as i have yet to see proper snowfall this season - but what a cathartic read! such a beautiful return and your words feel as timely as ever. thank you for your honesty and life in your words, for making a space where emotion is not ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but simply here
that is just... the loveliest way to put it, tiff, thank you so much for reading and taking the time to leave me something :( i hope by now that there's been some snowfall over there — but if not, then at least that this winter is treating you as gently as it can. wishing you warmth and wellness always always always, this season and beyond 🫶🏼
just read this in my sociology class and it made me want to cry and i think even though winter here in the uk isn’t so all encompassing as it seems to be where u are, i’m beginning to wish it was (without the bill, please). so many thoughts about this letter, thank u for writing it <3
sociology class !!! thank you for indulging my little winter agenda with the open heart and mind that you always do my letters, and i hope, hope, hope that the year has been treating your kind heart with just as much kindness 🤍
thankyou so much for this!!!! i feel so connected to your words and what they mean to me <3
thank you so much for reading & for your sweet words 🥺🫶🏼
