Life has been catching up with me the past few weeks. From power outages to computer crashes, to general burnout…
Instead of forcing it, I decided to do something a little different. I'm taking a break from my own stories to highlight some of the incredible writing I've been reading on Substack lately.
These are a few posts that have genuinely inspired me, made me think, or simply brought me joy. I hope you find something here you love as much as I do.
With a little luck, I'll be back next week with a new story, but for now, enjoy these brilliant voices from around the internet.
