Don’t try to hide it, love wears no disguise! Today on my Substack: reflections from a party, featuring my favorite DJ’s, a homemade birthday cake I never tried, losing my Costco virginity, the greatest charcuterie board ever made, and my friend Taye (who took a lot of photos). I’ve been unpacking heady stuff in my newsletters lately. Taking a break with a freewrite for the sake of love. Thank you for reading.
