hey amelie!! even if you never see this, i just wanted you to know that i’m grateful for you and hope 2023 is an amazing year for you!! ring of gold was the book that finally got me interested in reading again, and i’ve been reading nonstop ever since! it even inspired me to start writing again, and lately i’ve been using that as a personal outlet, writing stuff that i know nobody will ever read, but it’s made me a better and happier person overall. i hope everything’s going well for you, and even though i may never read rog again, i just wanted to let you know that first of all, it’s okay, do what you gotta do babe, and second, it did change someone’s life for the better. i hope that you’re purely happy doing whatever it may be that you end up doing, and that you have the kind of happiness and passion that you helped me get back:) happy new year!!
