Whenever I receive one of your letters I experience so many waves of emotion. Envy, at the very scale of your brilliance is usually first, jealousy at your ability to craft such emotionally dense sentences with deceptive ease is usually second. Eventually I land on extreme gratitude to have found you in the vastness of the internet. This post will become a guiding light for me when my depression kicks into hyper gear, as she does. I'm so grateful, for this letter in particular, but more generally, that you manage to be so generous with us. "Everything soft for you at this time" will become a part of my life, a tattoo maybe, certainly a mantra. Sending you my love, Substack-bestie.
thank You, Aisha ! i listened to your news letter before dozing off into an hour long delicious and well-needed nap, infused with your gentle and affirmative words ... 💗 hope you’re resting well too ...

Absolutely love this and love how it's written stylistically. Thanks for including my work :)
