I am loving the connections I am forming here on Substack. I have always disliked social media but this is the best part of it - authentic, Longform, thoughtful. It definitely reminds me of The early days of blogging, of zines and pen pals.

Open to anyone reaching out! Passions: art and mental health, women’s memoirs, true crime documentaries and podcasts, crochet and collage and book arts, learning Italian, life in San Francisco ...

I live in the Bay Area … have been writing for a while but just now getting serious about it. I write poetry, short stories - almost all about women - and always interested in exploring the origins of mental health and its workings… Nice to meet you Kathryn!

Hi Reena, nice to meet you! I have lived in San Francisco for 17 years, having moved here just because I love it. I have worked as a freelance writer that whole time ... I went to grad school for psychology and determined I didn’t want to “be a therapist” but it was the best personal growth experience ever. I am returning to grad school in the fall for more personal growth :) ... In recent years I’ve realized how much of my writing became rote because of doing online content for income and have recommitted your more creative thoughtful writing which is why I find myself liking it here ❤️ looking forward to continuing to connect
