Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the internet <3
If you’re thinking “WTF is Scribbled Milk?” …
Well, I’m so glad you asked. I suppose my answers start at the same place they always have: I’m not sure — I’m making this up as I go! I don’t have all the answers, but I like to scribble them down when I get close!
And meander in the direction of: It’s a newsletter. —An electronic format I can share the words and thoughts that have been spilling out of my head and onto the pages of half-finished notebooks my entire life.
The name? I like that it’s an ode to that saying about “spilled milk” —which I’m a huge contender for crying over, btw.
I’m also partial to the imagery of milk being a salve; like the runt of the litter being bottle-fed to health. In a way, words have always been a balm for my soul.
In reading them, I’ve learned how to process my life experiences as well as been given a way to escape them. In writing, I’ve forged a conduit —a lifelong tool— to help me get to my truths.
So what will we do here? What can you expect?
Well, first, probably a lot of this (rambling).
But also! The books I’m reading, things I’m thinking, and ways I’m keeping warm, so to speak. Think: food hyperfixations, existential questions, unsolicited commentary on the daily temperature, etc.
My goal is to shoot some sort of dribbling milk carton into your inbox bi-weekly, but the beginning of the year is chock-full of those things —goals— so be sure to keep your expectations realistic.
I am so, grinning-through-a-milk-mustache happy that you are here.
