dear young ant, on FKA twigs' "thank you song", she puts the pain of just being alive so simply: "i wanted to die, i'm just being honest / no longer afraid to say it out loud"
You just did some magic. I been in a hole of hopelessness for a minute. Reading your words, reading what you are DOING to try to build into optimism, to lean into hope, it feels a little like the reminder I've been needing. Thanks to young and older Ant.
this comment was very affirming, Melissa. it takes a lot to put your heart out for strangers on the internet to read and it's so lovely when folks i know and don't know tell me how my work impacted them. i hope you get out and stay out of the hole for as long as possible.

I relate to this so much. I am so glad you are here, you’re the Best. 🫂💐
Seconded. Telling my life, and I'm glad you're here too.
thank you both, for reading and commenting and sharing space with me 💖
