I had a break up a couple months ago that was so bad that my only way to cope and get over it was to literally move to the other side of the ocean. I don't think anything I've read about heartbreak and break ups has made me feel as seen and understood as this edition of your newsletter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words. It will get better soon, for both of us <3
oh kuroo <33 i totally understand that reaction, i really do. i’ve been method acting run-away all summer and that’s been my coping mechanism ! thank you for your kind words, it really means a lot. THINGS WILL GET BETTER. FOR BOTH OF US
I was so excited to see this in my inbox! I’m currently also struggling with feeling super annoying about my obsession with heartbreak. Even now that I feel myself getting over it and moving on, I find myself having the need to talk about it all the time. I’ve thought a lot about that idea of needing someone, needing love, and… I find it really interesting that you mix that quote about needing someone to peel potatoes for with making dinner for your friend, with Olivia Dean playing in the background. Maybe that’s the love we actually need, and we could romanticise platonic friendship a bit more. Recently I’ve been trying to do that. Graduating from university has made me focus on the people that are always there, before, during and after relationships. Last night we went swimming in the sea at midnight, and I swam away from my friends for a second to just look at them and think about how lucky I felt. A friend of mine swam over and grabbed my hand and asked if I was doing okay by myself. That’s love! That’s someone to peel potatoes for. And we’re so lucky to have them. Thanks again for such a beautiful newsletter, it’s a joy to get the notification.
oh thank you adri <33 i wish you could restack comments because this is a love letter in its own right!!! next letter/interview will actually be on this topic, falling in love with your wonderful friends <3
