Life dump 🚮 Everything feels overwhelming to me these days. My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last fall, and is still undergoing treatment. My dad had a heart attack days after Father’s Day last summer, he survived it, but it was heavy, and I already have a complicated relationship with him. Seemingly every publisher or media company is undergoing layoffs or budget cuts. Student loans are coming back. There is a devastating war underway. Everything feels so important yet so meaningless. I miss sharing work on this platform, but even that has felt like too much. I can’t seem to keep up with personal DM’s or texts. My preferred form of communication is via voice memo because they’re easier for me. If I don’t or haven’t answered you, it’s never personal. I’m trying to have grace with myself — not over apologize, not force myself to do something I really don’t want to do etc I’m very thankful to everyone who has been supportive and/or given me space when I’ve needed it ❤️ Thank you
@jesusantoshka for being there for me always. Hoping to try and get back into posting more because it does bring me joy! xx (Image of me holding cupcakes from

@snapsbybea in the elevator at WTC on Feb 15, 3 days before my 32nd birthday - a tired but genuine smile here - love my team 🥹)
