Let’s Write A Poem Together

Co-creating things that don’t suck

Hello, Premium Wonderfulls!

I’m writing today with a collaboration idea. Some of you may already know that this newsletter was born from a poem I wrote many years ago titled ‘Things That Don’t Suck’ which was a list of, you guessed it, things that don’t suck! That was eight years ago, and since then I have written many more unsucky lists to help guide me toward softness on difficult days. While touring, I even regularly collected “things that don’t suck” ideas from audience members and now have a large collection of post-it notes with unsucky things written on them by people all over the world. I’m sharing a list with you below. After you read it I would be thrilled if you would be willing to share a few of your favorite things. My wish is to compile our collective list into one long collection of things we love so that we can each return to it whenever our spirits need a pick-me-up. If you’d like to be a part of it, please leave YOUR ‘things that don’t suck’ in the comments. I can’t wait to read them!

Thank you for supporting Andrea and their art. None of this is possible without you.
For $5 a month you will become a part of a growing community of folks dedicated to supporting Andrea in creating art. You will gain exclusive access to all newsletter writings, a behind the scenes deep dive into their most beloved poems, as well as exclusive and intimate videos from Andrea.
