As another child of the internet (who also has a crazy email archive circa 2012) this was an amazingly nostalgic read. What a pleasure to have enjoyed the many online phases of Tara, and to like the irl Tara even more!
this made me so damn emotional! and it's so in line with some of the thoughts and feelings i've been having lately re: transformation, age, and authenticity. i am always so happy to see your work in my inbox + i hope you've been well :)
thank you so much neda, i’m so flattered! definitely feels like hard work sometimes! i think that’s largely due to external factors though (self comparison, success metrics, etc). once i push through that barrier it’s a breeze. i imagine that applies to a lot of things
something about this post and summer turning to fall here in London reminded me of It’s the Season I Often Mistake by Ada Limón. my favourite line <3
And today, just when I
could not stand myself any longer,
a group of field sparrows, that were
actually field sparrows, flew up into
the bare branches of the hackberry
and I almost collapsed: leaves
reattaching themselves to the tree
like a strong spell for reversal.
oh so good. will be returning to this today <3

Beautiful tara , aptly time for me to read :)
Goodness gracious, your writing- it just keeps getting better and better. Always pulling at heartstrings and stirring emotions.
Keep up the great work. I say that but your writing is so authentic I bet it doesn't feel like hard work.
