Hello Tamia Talkers! It’s been ages! I am so disappointed that I’ve gone so many weeks without posting.
If I’m honest, my fear of being perceived leapt out, and for the past few weeks, I’ve been drafting Tamia Talks posts and not hitting publish.
I came up with a long list of excuses for why I couldn’t share them yet, like needing to do another read-through and scan for errors or not wanting to pay for airplane Wi-Fi to justify my disappearance. But I’ve decided to throw those excuses into the bin and share my ins and outs while I muster up the courage and stamina to write creatively again. It’s all part of the process I imagine.
Since my last entry, I listened to Tate McRae’s new album “So Close To What” almost constantly, visited D.C., London and Paris (more on this to come), and listened to a growing number of astrology podcasts to see if they can explain the immense angst I feel floating through the air.
I can’t say they’ve entirely helped but I love the vibes. Anyway, my ins and outs are most certainly influenced by all of these happenings and I hope you can find something that resonates. I have the longest rewind coming to you soon, but for now, just these <3
