I want you to know that this newsletter (and all of your others) and all of your music resonates with me greatly. Thank you for putting yourself out there so people like me know we're not alone. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent and creativity with the world!
i’ve been a fan of the crane wives for a little bit and after i finally saw you guys live back in may (the DC show, it was so amazing, i could probably write an entire essay on just that!) i decided to check out your substack. i’m not sure i’ve ever resonated with any writing as much as yours. the part where you talked about having to name where you’re feeling the emotions you’re experiencing in your body (how do people do that???) reminded me of the time my vocal coach told me to sit down and just explain what i felt in my body. spoiler alert, i could barely realize i was feeling that i was sitting down on the floor. so i’m glad i’m not alone in this, especially since you’re someone i look up to and am inspired by, a LOT. thank you for being vulnerable, through your writing and your music (both as part of TCW and solo work), it has genuinely saved me. i hope to see more writing from you in the future <3
Hey Kate, I’m not sure if you look at these comments anymore, but I just went to TCW concert yesterday and was curious about you. (It was AMAZING btw)
I have been struggling with a lot of similar things. Trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. This seriously gave me a new perspective. You are an amazing writer, and I hope you will write something like this again. <3
Thanks so much for being a fan and coming out to the show, and thank you for your sweet words. <3 Always trying to return to writing for an audience, so thanks for the nudge.
“I believe I could go my whole life getting better and better at resisting emotion. I think I could become an Olympic level pain-avoider.”
god, this entire piece resonates in a way that feels almost uncomfortably personal. in a good way ?? thank you so much for writing it and releasing it to this little substack world. spent a while trying to figure out how to blend “it would be incredible if you started writing here again” and “only do it if it feels right for you/no pressure” into a coherent sentence and mostly failed, so i’ll end the comment here haha

Thank you. That’s so kind. I will keep sharing. I hope you do too.
This is beautiful, Kate. Thank you for sharing your heart, even if it’s not weekly or monthly or in any kind of schedule at all.
Thank you, Kayley. 🥹
