Teenage girls saying “I can’t even” is basically the same as old ladies saying “Well I never”.
This is messing with my head.

I just wanted to say thank you for your advice about anxiety last week! I have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and mostly do a good job of managing it, although my panic attacks have gotten more frequent lately. Wednesday I had tickets to see a band I really like and was freaking out about going on the way there. I remembered what you said about mediation and tried to calm down and be mindful–it truly helped. Went to the concert and had a great time. I am going to keep trying this!
I am so, so happy for you. I know how this feels. Anxiety will go up and down and sideways and make weird squiggly patterns. Every time you punch through it, you take away from its power.
And no matter what loads and loads and loads of people are with you in this always. Like me! HI!
*grabs hand* *flies away with you*

I just want to say that your books give me life. I’m a fifteen-year old Vietnamese-American girl. When I started writing, I was eleven and every single one of my characters was heterosexual and white because I grew up in a heteronormative environment (which was poisonous and led me to think that I was straight up until last year) and all of the books I read had only white protagonists. One day, I’d like to be one of those authors who show up in lists of Asian-American or LGBT authors.
Aw, thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear that you connected with my books. I hope that someday I’ll come across one of your books, too. 🙂 Good luck with your writing!
