Oh Tara! This was a bittersweet read, I’ll truly miss reading your weekly updates, but I am sending you loads of support and love for your next project. I've been a silent reader of this newsletter since the very beginning, and it feels like we've grown together over the past two years. As a fellow POC eldest daughter, your experiences with navigating adulthood, identity, loneliness, friendships, and love all hit so close to home. I've cherished every moment spent reading your posts, bookmarking my favorites to revisit. I know they'll serve as a guiding light as I (in a few months) embark on my own journey of moving abroad and navigating my 20’s in a new environment. Your writing is a source of immense comfort to me, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon your remarkable self and this lovely newsletter, which effortlessly reflects your genuine affection through the love and consideration you poured into each word. I am so excited to see what the next chapter in your journey will be, and will without a doubt be here for when you come back. Lots of love!!!! 🤍

We'll miss you Tara! Your musings are always a way to brighten life, your pieces and devotions as a whole was a huge inspiration for me to even start having a place of my own, and to begin reading some poetry by myself. Your words and ability make others feel less alone, it's pretty incredible how you hold mundane moments and turn them into bigger things. I hope you can dedicate yourself fully to whatever fulfils you!! See you in the fall!

Tara dear, thank you so much for your hard work always :,). I've always enjoyed your writing so I know I'll enjoy whatever you put out in the future as well! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store Inshallah, and I'll wait as long as you need. This particular newsletter is dear to me because I've had my own journey of learning how to enjoy my own presence instead of feeling lonely like I tended to. I'm happy that you're at that point and it reminded me of my own improvements. Take care, lots of love and have a safe + fun journey! <3
