I really love reading this newsletter, it makes me feel like I’m not crazy for wanting to share my own thoughts in my newsletter too. There still are so many people who desire to read and it’s sadly getting more difficult to find people’s personal works nowadays. It’s much easier to find people/accounts on Instagram and TikTok than it is to find decent things/people to read. But! There’s still a lot of us who long for other’s writing.

I encourage you to carry on writing and sharing your thoughts because this isn’t the first time you’ve made my brain excited from feeling a connection to what you’ve written.

As a writer of both fiction and nonfiction its apretty bittersweet pill to swallow coming to the realisation that no one really reads anymore. Sometimes I escape too far into an area of the world that does read and I forget that that's only a small part of the rest of the universe. But the sweet part comes in when writing pieces together ideas that people often have "common discourse" on (see what I did there). That's why even though I'd rather not spend more than like 30 minutes on twitter, I can appreciate how ideas of my own have be realised by others in 140 characters or less.

Anywho, I think writing is a beautiful thing. And i might be biased as a person that enjoys all types of writing, but like you said, writing makes voice indistinguishable when we come to recognise them as people we know or knew. Something about the way words string themselves together, how you would imagine it sounding with a certain infliction. It's all very cool to ponder on. Sometimes at least, other times my brain simply cannot absorb that much info.

I used to love reading everyday when I was younger and I don’t remember when I lost that connection with reading but CD has definitely brought back that connection to reading in a way that feels familiar and comforting knowing that there’s someone or at least a small community of people who share the same concerns and thoughts. The links you share at the end of each post are also rewarding in that I never know what to expect with what you share so it’s fun to get lost in those links. I find myself always coming back to CD at least once every other day treating it like a book.
