I started my newsletter, Feels Like Home, at the end of 2022. My focus was simple: write about things I love and the people & moments that have shaped me. This led me to finding connections in things like music, sports, TV, and movies. The truth is, it’s about those things, and it’s not. There’s a Ross Gay quote I love that I can’t stop thinking about. He writes, “Noticing what we love in common, and studying that, might help us survive.” I’m naive enough to believe that writing about my beloveds might help you consider yours; that these words could inspire you to look beyond yourself and recognize how your life is attached to someone else’s. Thank you for showing me this can be true. It’s a miracle that you’re here; that you make time for my newsletter and go as far as to subscribe. You help me see that I’m not alone, and I’m forever grateful.
