As a 90s girl who is SO easily embarrassed by caring about anything or sharing anything private, I really felt this. I spent years hiding the fact that I wrote, let alone putting any writing out first people to see, and now I don’t do it at all anymore. I’m in awe of your ability to share the messy stuff even if it feels cringey.
This essay was beautiful. I saw Maggie last year and I have never seen a performer embody genuine joy the way she does when she’s on stage! I believe with my whole soul that she cannot believe she gets to perform and write music for a living in the happiest way. I love her!
This is beautiful—love the idea that some years turn you upside down. I also love reading about people’s rituals, I find it soothing and it also encourages me to not be so embarrassed about my own.
Not for nothing, this is one of my favorite essays of yours that I’ve read. Whatever this is, keep following it. ❤️

I hope you find a way. <3
Amy this is beautiful. I hope you never stop writing.
Thank you, Ashlee <3
I really enjoyed reading this. Life is so messy, but that doesn’t mean we should opt out. I’m glad you’re still seeking.
Thank you for always being here with the kindest words.
The damn growth spurts! Such a hassle!!! 💛
NOT ON THE PLAN

Right? She is incredible. Unlike anyone I've ever seen.
I love Maggie Rogers! Now I want to fall down that rabbit hole.
I recommend!
This was a beautiful essay Amy. Cheers to your growth spurt!
Thank you, Emily!

Same! I love it when people are a little weird!
