Hi sweetpeas 🫛 I have no idea where this name has come from btw but we’re too far in now to drop it.

this one feels vulnerable

1 month ago | lucymoon.substack.com | Lucy Moon

Okay SO. I don’t know how I feel about this one at all. It’s scrappy. But maybe a start of something? It feels extra vulnerable to share it in this stage, but perhaps that’s more of a reason to send it your way.
ten things that have changed my perspective on turning 30

1 month ago | lucymoon.substack.com | Lucy Moon

I feared turning thirty from the moment I turned twenty-six. Jack gave me a hug and jokingly said “welcome to your late twenties!” He wasn’t to know that this thought would spiral into a four-year preoccupation. Absolutely filled with terror for what might be, anticipating the gradual vanishing that could take place. Internalising the fear of every woman I saw on tv, replaying the way Rachael mourned her youth on Friends. I used to wish away the future.

the july review

2 months ago | lucymoon.substack.com | Lucy Moon |Otegha Uwagba

Hi pals! I hope you enjoy this July newsletter — where has the year gone already? I can’t keep up. Don’t forget to join our chat of like-minded pals and I’ll see you next month 💌I feel like there’s been a universal shift towards hope over the past few weeks. Maybe it’s astrology, maybe it’s brat summer, perhaps I’m projecting because of the electoral mood change, but it feels like something just a tiny bit existentially positive is in the air.

the curse of the solo artist: camilla, normani and little mix

2 months ago | lucymoon.substack.com | Lucy Moon

I hope you enjoy these shower thoughts about why I like C,XOXO when everyone else seems to hate it, why Normani’s long-awaited album didn’t hit, and the struggle of going solo after leaving a huge pop band.
