"I hated the color blue for a long time because too much blue would mean too much Me." if that doesn't speak to a whole generation of internet natives idk what does. <3

also what a genius way of tying in the 'not special' speech. It really is a relief to forget yourself and just be sometimes.

love you to the moon and back my moonjar <3

really loved this one. your words touch people, and they have so much power. there is so much power in sharing vulnerable moments, i think it gives strength to both the giver and the given. thank you for sharing <3 and good luck on your dissertation!!

oh tara, you've come far, it really is okay to rest for a while before taking another step. good luck once you do complete and present your dissertation, soon it will be just another road crossed!!

loved this take on us not being special, it was very gentle and felt very genuine

edit: was listening to 'you're not special, babe' from orla gartland and i thought you'd like it, it kinda relates to the theme of this letter
