Today I read Owl's Roost's new article, "Thoughts on Wanting" and not only did it resonate with me, it also seemed relevant to the character of David from Giovanni's Room :)

I studied to teach college lit, and I think academia lets the thought that some ways of reading are better than others sift through society in a crummy way. Audiobooks are just as valid a delivery method as words on a page. (Sorry! Soapbox!!)

Thank you, I think you’re absolutely right. I voiced my insecurity in an attempt to make myself feel better. But really, listening to writing just works for my brain more than reading. Physically reading, I expend great energy to not get distracted

your comment on my response made my absolute day- i'm glad that my writing struck a chord in you! your writing is wonderfully theatrical- it captures well the idea of being a conduit for words, rather than the conductor. i understand the feeling of feeling like the words carry you rather than the other way around.

it feels almost religious, in the way one is humbled before divinity, fearful and yet brave enough to do so anyway. it's really hard to write, especially when you feel like what you have to say or how you have to say it isn't good enough. but i, for one, am looking forward to more of your magical writing. ☺

Oh my, I feel overwhelmed! This made my whole week. I squealed with joy as I read it. It means the absolute world to me that you took the time to say what you said. To have my writing be described as magical, theatrical, and almost religious? What a gift you've given me. I'm glad my writing was evocative of something. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Your writing for muse is really remarkable. I enjoyed it, and can relate in some ways. I was especially struck by you talking about being your own voyeur.

I stopped thanking people for following me, because I was worried it somehow came off as annoying, but now I feel disconnected from new followers and my gratitude remains unexpressed :,)

I've been itching to overhaul my site layout, but I both don't have a vision for the new layout, and am not sure I'm ready to part with the current layout, lol.

I get that struggle- it's the reason I have a website templates page. XD Gets the "new layout" urge out without causing me issues.

My zine page now has three zines on it. I've been going back and forth trying to figure out if I want to share all three. They're very vulnerable, and I draw my face fairly realistically in them. I'm more comfortable blurring the face and sharing, because I am proud of these and I want others to see it

Inspiring! You make me want to create a zine. Your emotions shine through with such clarity. I hope you can continue to explore yourself with this medium.

Thank you so much <3 I hope you do end up making one! It's so accessible and it can be virtually anything

I'm glad the blur doesn't feel out of place! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment <3 and thank you, I felt really connected to that drawing. I'm glad it connects with you too!

Beautiful sentiment. I tell myself the same thing, that no matter what, things will be different tomorrow. It makes things seem more important. I have to know, what was the website/blog you mentioned?

That's a good approach, I should try it! Also, coming from a trans guy, I cut and have cut my hair a lot (mainly fringe adjustment or undercuts). Partially for the cheapness/convenience, but also I really dislike the hair salon experience for multiple reasons.

Thank you both for your kind comments. I'm glad I'm not alone with the hair cutting. It's such a personal thing. I found https://noodledesk.net/garden/dessin this post impactful, and almost tangentially related, regarding uncertainty and the idea that the things we desire are closer than we think. I wrote that sentence, really, having multiple websites/blogs in mind that have touched me during my short time here.

Vashti, I really like what you wrote the other day about there always being things waiting to be loved. Somehow that felt like a reminder that there's always beauty along the way, and I remember it helping me through the evening
