Hey you,
Whenever any of my friends disappear on me and return full of apologies, I always scold them and tell them that it's me, Amyn, you don't need to apologise. I totally understand. And I know you're not coming from of a place of trying to hurt me, you were going through stuff, shit happens.
So, with that in mind, I'm not going to apologise for not writing to you for the longest time but I have to admit that I missed you very much. And you were on my mind. I'm glad I was still able to keep in touch through other platforms. Thank you for reaching out to check if I hadn't off-ed myself. So many things have happened. And I realized that I stay in my head a lot. Sometimes it's good, but in my case, I need to get out of it or I just end up in a dark hole.
Do you know what got me out? The Gratitude Jar. I randomly went through it one day and I couldn't stop crying and feeling guilty for feeling bad because I'm surrounded by so much positive energy. For instance, there’s you, bottomless mojitos, pork stirfry pasta, books, you, beer, TV, brownies, Mr. M, cream-filled doughnuts, you, salted caramel gelato, vibrators, etc. There is so much to be grateful for.
So, I'm going to try to be more intentional about watching out for my triggers so that I can quickly snap out of them. If binging on a Korean Drama is what it takes, then so be it. Karachi and I shared some recommendations on the latest episode of The Litty Podcast.
Also, imma be changing up the format of this newsletter because the routine was starting to dull me, I don't know why we constantly put limitations on ourselves in the name of "doing something right". If it feels right to you then that should be okay, yeah? Forgive me, I have a lot of unlearning to do from corporate work space🤦🏾♀️
Okay, this is getting too long. I want to wrap up with this little information. The newsletter will be popping in your inbox every two weeks and I can't wait to share this exciting journey towards self-love with you. Hehehe feels like the end of a Hallmark movie but you know what I mean. Anyhoo, see you soon. XOXO
Salted caramel gelato is a solid shout!
We missed you too! Welcome back beautiful.
