This is so gorgeously written! I am holding this newsletter very gently in my hands, I have a feeling this will be one of your newsletters I come back to over and over again.
I just wanted to say that I have (and still am) struggling with this sense that I’m losing my ability to write and this piece brought me so much comfort. thank you
Also I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.. I have I’m ashamed to admit been away from reading for a while now, however finding and reading this has re-lit my fire for reading. Thanks for sharing and I echo what many have said previously.. this is beautifully written.
this was so intimate and lovely and i picked up on the themes from mirrorball through out, but there were parts that reminded me of a lyric from a different taylor swift song, evermore. In the second verse she says "can't remember what i used to fight for". i relate to trying to remember how it used to feel to know where and how my life would end up, and i've lost that as well. i think the best we can do sometimes is know it still exist somewhere and to give into the cycle.
I really enjoyed some parts of this. Like the slow realization that it’s not a repetition and “it’s not an echo, but a cycle”
To answer your question, I don’t fully understand, at least the “old story” that you tell.
Also, is it Ivan who says that in Brothers Karamazov? Sounds like it would be from him.
And when you put your notes at the end, is that to show like the origin of some of the parts of the essay?
And are they automatically time stamped through some better version of Apple notes app or do you just write those and then check the day and time and stamp it yourself?
Thank you for trying to describe the indescribable. Even if I didn’t understand it all, what I did understand was a pleasure to read.

so beautiful i could cry. as i read this, i kept thinking about this line from ocean vuong:
"The most beautiful part of your body is where it’s headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent with the world. "
This is so beautiful and I resonate with it deeply as a fellow human.
ugh chloé you hit it out of the ballpark once again

I’m curious to know exactly what book that no one likes has you grieving?
Poetry purgatory is such a great way to label the pieces and scraps that come to you but ultimately go nowhere! I love love love this newsletter <3
