I think it’s increasingly important in this changing world to find things that bring you joy. Since I spend most of my time online in places like Substack, I’ve had my eyes opened to different ways of sharing art.
I had never heard of Zines until I spent a lot of time on that platform.
I think we all long for the olden days of the internet, when we shared things freely, when it was those close to us who saw glimpses of our lives. I’m afraid those days are in the past, and I’ve found myself retreating more and more into privacy, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I do long to share my life more often, so I’ve decided to use zines to do so.
This is just a little passion project of mine—a way to share little pieces of my life with those who care. A way to keep physical media alive! I’ve started purchasing zines on Etsy, and I am excited to see my collection grow.
Inside this issue, you will find three unpublished poems, the story of how I became a bird lady, a poem from my teen years, photos from my camera roll, and what I have been reading/watching/listening to.
I hope you enjoy this little darling.
