Congratulations on hitting 4 years with your consistency and determination to Val Thinks. Finding reasons why you are in it for is a difficult one. Where most people need to find the answers before going through the journey. But you found yours along the way and the shape of it changes as you go along.
Deep inside, I read Val Thinks because maybe one day I may take a chance on the writer side of me. Plus your reason to connecting one another resonate with me. It's a nice chance each week to be reflective and read another person's perspective.
Thomi! Thank you so much for being with me on this journey of discovery. You will always be an OG Val Thinks reader and I am grateful for being connected with you.
from your filmmaker friend: This one hits home, not because I've vanquished anything, but rather am struggling with new work, with no idea what exactly it is, where its going, or even why... is this good, or is it time to hang it up & retire? water my plants? I'll start by exploring my own need to be asking these questions. Let go of the perfectionist part, and take a fresh leap! You inspire me with this one! Let us both blunder on!

Congratulations on this milestone, Val! I love all that this newsletter has vanquished — especially your perfectionism!
Thank you Katie! And “vanquished” is such a great word for it.
