Nowhereverse Tales, Issue 15
We guard our hearts.
Usually for good reasons: We don’t know others’ motivations. People are complicated. Communication is hard, and assumptions abound. We all have flaws, many of them invisible even to ourselves.
So we guard ourselves. We get to know each other and slowly open our hearts as we do. And sometimes, even with all our precautions, we get hurt. People aren’t who we assumed they were, or maybe we just find ourselves at odds.
But sometimes… Sometimes we are known, we know, and we find love. And we find that what we thought was an ending is, in truth, a wonderful beginning.
The ask box is open, and the Discord exists.
And there’s a lot of scuttlebutt on social media right now about what speech is allowed where and how. And we’re all discovering yet again that despite any sense of ownership of our social media profiles, we don’t have any actual ownership.
To that end, I want to emphasize that the website for Nowhereverse Tales will be accessible at https://tales.nowhereverse.com as long as I can keep it up, regardless of whatever social media or newsletter thing I’m using.
Anyway, thanks for coming along for this ride. It’ll be a year since I first soft-launched this month, and it’s been a bit of a year. We live in an attention economy right now, and so I sincerely thank you for your attention.
Until next time,
—Ronyo
