I was venting about a situation to my best friend. Except I didn't send the text to my best friend. I sent it to the person I was venting about. I'd very much like to disappear forever now.

This is the part where I shamelessly remind you a NYT bestselling author said really nice things about my book.

I have countless things to be grateful for this year. Outside the blessings of home and family, I published my debut, and have another book coming out next month. I'm so grateful for everyone who has supported me on this journey.

You're doing important work. Keep it up.

I'm so sorry about the rejections. I know what it's like to get hopes a little too high. It hurts when it doesn't work out.

Sending you all the happy birthday wishes. 🥰
