Silver linings

If you're not sick of seeing Valeria Kalabina and I yet, here's some more! I'll have you know that she is also a very genuinely fun person. She's very funny and goofy which I find refreshing in this world. She's obviously very talented but doesn't take herself too seriously...and she loves cats hehe.

So my old 'gram is back! Things are different now though. "Growth" on Instagram has changed over the last year since I've been gone. Engagement is down, and I'm hearing this from others too. It used to be easier to blow up on there, and it's just not the case anymore...along with being shadowbanned. I'm still grateful it's back, even if its probably the same exact number of people interacting as my backup account haha.

The sun is back out this week with some lovely fall weather, I'm slowly getting back on the Keto-ish train (I just feel better when I do), and I talked to a new tax CPA (a woman and a friend) who is going to help me this next year, which is a huge relief after the last few years of egregious errors made by tax professionals. I also started going to therapy again, which was a cost I cut this summer since business was down. But I think it's an important investment in my mental health.

Thank you for being so lovely and supportive. I'm thinking about mailing Polaroids out again this year, I'll keep you posted and will collect addresses later!
