I feel like I’ve been stuck in the throes of writer’s block (and a touch of laziness) for the last month—I’ve been trying to write something that felt worth sharing everyday, and nothing felt right.
Sure has heck made sense to me. Poetry finds its audience 🤍 This hit me so hard and made me feel all the girlhood things — thinking of friends present and past. Thanks for sharing xx
oh god. i am EMOTIONAL!!!!!!!! i am nostalgic and hopeful and sad. i am almost dialing all of the girls i swapped secrets with in the dark when words felt less heavy and secrets felt like confetti: sprinkled in special delight on those you love. i don’t know where these girls are now. i have found new people, new secret holders, new hearts to hold as we make our way down the path together. and maybe one day we WILL lose each other. but for now we are here. thank you eli! this was wonderful.
you’ve really done it this time😭😭 crying in my bed before work,, thank you for articulating the magic of female friendship so well. omw to tell my best friend i love her.

This is one of the first Substack pieces I’ve read completely and it’s awestrucking.
