Lately, I run on escape reading and escape TV because, let's be honest, reality can be beyond overwhelming. The end of a season is hard enough, but the finality of a series is killer.
**And congratulations on your 100-subscriber milestone! Well done, my friend!**
(Shameless self-promo: I am 2 away from this goal, so if anyone reading here wants a weekly 100-word micro read, check it out!)
Anyone reading this should know that Amie's substack is my absolute favourite and you should subscribe in a heartbeat.
It's so thought-provoking, and powerful, and emotional, and at times joyful, at times hard, but always written so poetically and devotedly. Not to mention, the incredible craft of doing so in so little words. I have said this before and I will again -- this is a skill I do not have haha but I oh so admire.
I'm happy in my single life most of the time. However while I was away for work this past week, occasionally I thought how nice it would be to have someone to share my experiences with.
I don't watch TV or shows. I find when I finish reading a great books I feel bereft, exactly like I've lost friends.
Oh Cathy, I so feel you on that! That feeling of lost friends is very, very real. Also travelling solo can be invigorating and exciting and wonderful but I hear you on the flip side, too. Every now and then it's like you want to turn to someone and discuss what you're doing or witnessing or exploring or how you are feeling. Thank you for sharing this with me xx
I actually totally relate to this, for the most part in my day to day life I am happy to mill around and do my own thing without much thought on sharing the experiences but when I finished binge watching Heartstopper a few weeks ago I was hit with this wave of sadness that I hadn’t shared that whole 4 hour experience with someone. Thanks for sharing xx

our writing may be at opposite ends of the word-count spectrum but we truly complement (and compliment lol) each other on an emotional level

Thank you for sharing this with me, Sophie. I am so glad it resonated and that I am not alone in this feeling xx
