I used to be going to put in writing an actual publish at the moment however I ran out of time and it’s late so as a substitute I’m going to simply share the substack letter I simply mailed out in case you don’t subscribe however wish to know why I’ve disappeared for just a few days:
Good day, love!
I do know I simply despatched you a letter however I’m sending one other one as a result of subsequent week I’ll be in Quebec for a few days and I don’t know the right way to schedule a future publish and I don’t know if I’ll have entry to substack there. Actually, how am I a long time into publishing on-line and am nonetheless so unhealthy at this?
BUT! Fake that that is subsequent Monday as a result of my drawing for the week is a reminder of precisely why I’ll be in Quebec…as a result of life is brief and fragile and I’ve by no means seen the type of snow that you are able to do issues in and I wish to sled down a hill or construct a snowman as soon as in my life earlier than it’s too late. After all, now that I’ve written this I anticipate that each one the snow in Canada will soften however I’ve heard in addition they have wonderful cheeses so we’ll make do it doesn’t matter what.
“Our lives are fleeting and fragile and exquisite…like butterfly wings that flip to mud at a contact.”
And let this be a tiny reminder to you that (should you can) it’s best to exit and do one thing enjoyable and kooky and ridiculous as usually as potential as a result of that’s what life is fabricated from. Bundle right into a quilt and watch an outdated black and white film. Connect a swing to your tree and have enjoyable. Make plans to see snow after which do not forget that along with many different ailments you even have extreme rheumatoid arthritis after which say, “FUCK IT. I’LL BRING EXTRA DRUGS” and get on the airplane though you are feeling sort of silly and may find yourself in a cramped ball of ache on the finish of this.
Hugs, candy pal.

PS. I’ve been doing duolingo for 333 days straight as a result of I heard that studying languages may help hold dementia away and so I shall be utilizing my french for the primary time ever in actual life and do I simply apologize upfront for fucking it up? Is it impolite to talk French if I can communicate English since I feel a lot of Quebec additionally speaks English? Am I simply making it more durable on everybody else or is it a captivating factor to indicate them that I’m actually making an attempt and am simply very silly? I don’t know the reply right here.
