''A pocket-sized, long-term serial of text-heavy, unfriendly, unapologetic length, non-chronological, guided by my Virgo horoscope & introspective meditations of experiences I’ve tried to open or enter but am unable to. To give these stories a place I can reference later. To remain “minor,” local, approachable. For this to be like a letter, or a “business card”—friendship card—passing from my hand to yours & for you to consider writing me back.  "A zine is something I do because I have something to say and I don't care who sees it as long as it's out there." Thanks for reading!''
