I really needed this essay. I just drafted a piece mere minutes before reading this due to trying to force out something happier. I've drafted more pieces than published because I wanna post something uplifting. I'm just not in a happy state of mind. Thank you for writing this!!

I love your writing so much! You captured so well the feeling of melancholy and stagnancy that comes after the holidays. Also you convinced me to watch traitor bc I’ve been on the fence haha (so happy to find a writer that lives in DC btw! I lived there for five years and am heading back next year after I finish my MFA!)

This was such a lovely read, all so beautifully put. This is so relatable, I’ve been feeling very similar since the New Year. I keep wanting to write happier pieces but I feel like I’m having to force it, I want to be more positive but there’s a part of me that feels so lifeless and flat. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful words, I found a lot of comfort in them. 🤍

such a great post! i think this is such a common feeling, especially at the start of a new year, so don’t be too hard on yourself 🤍
