NOTES ON LIVING

Notes on Living is a Substack I started at the end of 2023 in an effort to document pieces of my life, and ultimately attempt to romanticise the amount of academic related anxiety I was feeling at the time. Writing has always been a creative outlet for me, a way to express what I’m feeling in a constructive way and connect with people through the words I’m putting on a page.

Since then, Notes on Living has taken on a slight life of it’s own, growing as I post more frequently, and creating a small but loyal audience in my corner of the internet who relate to some of what I’m saying. My own voice as a writer has come from this newsletter, and I’ve still got more to say :)

Transition and Liminal Space: I am Forever Required to Move

Periods of change, the vulnerability of not knowing, what actually is a liminal space, and how can we write into the gaps that are left behind?

Becoming unbearable one creative degree at a time, late stage capitalism is slowly driving me crazy, I wish I could afford to buy a car, and what does the lead up to 4 years sober actually look like?

Letter 3: May

Letter 2. April (Over a Year Later)

Postgrad life, recovery bits and pieces, trying to accept that perhaps I was not built for hospitality, and that I also really love Sunday mornings.

Letter 1. November

Turning 21, sobriety (or bits of it), and how I'm feeling about all the mess in the middle.
