Plus plus plus to everything here β€” I always LOVE reading about your process and perspective and feelings vrk. (And so happy to be an editor on Pouch πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈβ€οΈ I gotta get you a pet rock and paint my face on it or something lol!!)

But this time I am most obsessed with these TRASH CANS ahhhhhh omg i love them. The blushing one and the crying/longing one are my faves. So emotive. The stickers will be excellent!!

Glad you’re taking the time you need and so proud to call you my friend and my editor-in-chief. YOU GOT THIS πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Always love your missives! I considered taking this SVA course years ago so it was incredibly fun to see your assignmentsβ€”thank you for sharing them!! I also firmly believe that you "learning to speak" will make for a better Pouch, so please take the time you need πŸ’› and am very happy you're prioritizing both!!

Thank you so much, Carolyn!! It's so so helpful to hear this πŸ₯Ή even when I "know" how you'd feel (especially since you're on the team LOLL) but reading your comment reinforces it in a way that's so meaningful!! I appreciate you always πŸ’ž

And omg yes it'd been SUCH a great class!! Melanie's an incredible instructor, and her assignments are designed with _so_ much care. They're challenging but doable and there's a subtle progression in difficulty. You can really feel how much passion Melanie has for teaching πŸ’“ it's an inspiring experience all-around!
