Sadie, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it and the sentiment means a lot to me as I try to be as honest and candid as possible within just the boundaries of what's healthy and appropriate.

I love this, it's so reminiscent of the early 2000s rise of bloggers. Excellent stuff! :)

I was so excited to see this in my inbox! I often find myself agreeing with your opinions (even when they may not be generally popular) so I can’t wait to see what else you have to say. I’d love hear more about anything from your travels, favorite recipes, your ‘controversial’ takes, etc. I’d imagine the people who signed up to get your newsletter are just genuinely excited for the extra content and will not be scrutinizing every word so I hope you keep that in mind and enjoy your self!

Please write more things like this, about life, philosophy, psychology, relationships, and all that jazz! You’ve got such a wonderful perspective that is a perfect balance of analytical/observant and none judgemental.

Very readable, Hannah. I hope you are finding it therapeutic. Oh, and BTW, I am a senior citizen (just don't feel like one) and a firm believer in the old adage, about one door closing. I have seen it happen over and over, again. I am convinced much better things are coming your way. You won't know it until you are there, but trust that you will find your happy place, again.

Agreed, infidelity is absolutely grey, and infidelity is as unique as the couples who go through it. I think Esther Perel is a leading voice in how to approach affairs with nuance. As someone who experienced infidelity and am still with my partner (happily!), I find this topic fascinating.

Hi! I'm so excited for your newsletter - give me all of the Hannah Stella content!! Also, to validate, the content in this newsletter is 100% the type of thing I want to read by you ("hot takes by Hannah"). In addition, and I know you often do it on IG, but I would love to see some [longer-form] advice in these.

I was so happy to get this in my inbox! After reading a lot of the other comments I know that I am not alone with the feeling that you are someone who has such a uniquely wonderful point of view that I love to read about and hear about! I truly appreciate all of your recommendations with products, services, places etc. I have yet to get a bad rec from you! Another part of the newsletter I really appreciated was your thoughts on relationships. I love that you give an ethos of accountability only to yourself while still being respectful! I really appreciated this line:

"We were very young and even when we’re very old you don’t have to move past anything or admit to anything that you do not wish to work through. Walk away!" THIS is the energy! Hannah, please continue to write and to create, I so so appreciate hearing from you! To answer your question on what we want from the newsletter: just take your natural approach and figure it out as you go! We are all friends, yes! :)

Loved reading this! You're my absolute #1 person on tiktok and having something come to my inbox from you is going to be such a treat. I truly love all your content but my favorite thing about your content is the nuance you bring to everything from fashion to social etiquette. Would also love maybe a semi recurring hot take / unpopular opinion piece? The way you do that stuff is always so funny but also graceful and like never mean spirited and I just love it a lot. No matter what you give us we will love it so you have our full support! <3

Nerves are understandable, but like others I am eager to see what you have to say! Thank you for presenting this viewpoint, I tend to have a very black and white view on cheating but your story helped me to take a step back from personal situations and acknowledge the grey area that exists. I’m a sophomore in college, and I deeply admire your grace and nuance. I hope that through hearing your perspectives I am able to broaden my own, and develop even a fraction of the grace and nuance you have. I look forward to future newsletters and would love to hear more about personal growth and how you deal with conflict.

Loyally,

Ansley
