Hello, Welcome! Why I’m Here, & What to Expect
A quick guide for new readers: what I write, why I write it, and where to start.
A warm, slightly over-enthusiastic hello to you all!
This is just a little what to expect from this newsletter if you’re new to Love From Imi which I think you’re supposed to write and pin to your homepage?
Welcome to Love From Imi, a newsletter for curious, reflective, emotionally honest humans who are trying (and very often struggling) to figure life out.
It’s a space for the deep feelers, the overthinkers, the late-night ponderers. For the people who want stories that are thoughtful but also kind of funny. For those who’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?” “Am I normal” or even “Am I okay????”
What this newsletter is about
I started writing Love From Imi after finding myself in life moments that didn’t match what the world seemed to expect of me.
Like when I was getting married and felt terrified, not just excited.
Or when a friendship quietly ended and it hurt like a breakup.
Or when I still couldn’t answer “What do you want to do with your life?” at 31, and felt like I was behind.
What I needed was real talk. The kind that’s like a very non-judgemental friend. Not people looking at me weirdly because I wasn’t feeling what I should feel. So that’s what I try to offer here, alongside humour, reflection, and the occasional wise words.
What you’ll find here:
Reflective essays
Personal stories — I’m here to give the honesty, and the lols, always.
Lighter, observational notes — because sometimes, all we need to do is sit back and enjoy looking at the clouds
Occasional deep dives into psychology and emotion — when something fascinates me, I might just share it
I write about love, friendship, identity, careers, self-worth, and all the messy, meaningful moments that shape us.
And you’ll get new posts every Tuesday and Sunday. Lucky you!
Oh, and just to be transparent—
I do currently have the paid tier switched on.
I’m still figuring things out after being made redundant, and part of me wonders if writing could become something I earn from in future.
I’d love that (I won’t lie).
But there’s zero pressure—everything I write right now is free, and will stay that way for the time being. The paid option is just there if anyone feels strongly about supporting what I’m building.
Some series I’ve started:
Romantic Rewrites
Exploring the romantic norms we internalise, the narratives we grew up with, a few too many rom coms, and what it actually means to love another human in ordinary life.
Start here → Romantic Rewrites
Redundancy Diaries
On losing my job and the emotional and identity shifts that followed.
Start here → Redundancy Vibes
Before I Said Yes
Reflections from my own experience of getting married—the overwhelm, the identity questions, the freedom fear, and why it isn’t always as simple as being “100% sure.”
Start here → Before I Said Yes
A little extra, if you’re curious
On Instagram I share shorter reflections, DIY home projects, and illustrations.
You can also find my art prints and creative work on Instagram and Etsy.
Subscribe if you wanna join in the party!! It’s thoughtful, honest, occasionally deep, occasionally ridiculous—and I’d love to have you along for the ride.
