Hello, I just wanted to write you a note, since you haven’t heard from me in a while, to let you know I’m okay. Shit is bad here, you’ve no doubt heard how bad things are or are living it so what can I say to add to that? K thinks it’s dumb, me writing to you: “Are you going to say, ‘Hiiii Substack People, just wanted to let you know I haven’t died yet?’” “Basically, yes,” I say. I have friends who have COVID, some for the second time, I message them every morning, “Hello, just checking in.” We’re all saying, “Please don’t die yet.” I hear from friends around the world, “You guys ok?” (
when i am bored , i will remember that alternative is much worse. thanks for the line !

Hugs! Stay safe.
This was such a comforting read, and so very relatable. thank you! :)
