This morning I woke up feeling so homesick for Mar

This morning I woke up feeling so homesick for Martha’s Vineyard that I had tears in my eyes and a knot in my stomach. 55 Trinity Park was my second home growing up, and even though I haven’t stayed there in almost 10 years, it still kinda feels that way. I’ve been back on the island in different capacities since, but nothing has ever beat sitting on that porch, reading in rain or listening to musicians play in the Tabernacle across the street after a full day at Long Point. I’m lucky to miss this island, to have had the experiences that I have.

My mom and I love it so much that we share a subscription to @vineyardgazette. And while that’s certainly not the same as being there in person, I think it’s been a good reminder to really pay attention to the present moment—to take it all in so that when that moment becomes a memory, we can look back with so much gratitude. 💙

A break from everything but Austin. 💦

When I moved here nine years ago, I just didn’t—couldn’t—fit in. The culture was nothing like I’d experienced before, and the amount of money swirling around my bougie high school shocked me in new ways daily.

So when it came time to go to college, I had no trouble packing my bags for the east coast. I was ready to move on and live my New York dream… until I wasn’t anymore.

One year later, I came back. I learned how to make Austin fit me instead of desperately trying and failing to make me fit Austin. And I haven’t left since. 🤍

Okay. So this is finally happening. I’m finally letting you know that quincybulin.com is a thing and that it’s LIVE at the link in my bio. ✨

There were blogs I wanted to write, content I wanted to create, and mobile bugs I wanted to fix before sharing this with you, but as @rachel.m.weber reminded me last week, done is better than perfect. So… Hi! I’m a writer for creative entrepreneurs and bloggers who’s open for business! And I’m excited to say that a portion of annual proceeds from this business are donated to @insidebooksproject. 🤍

Thank you to @hammer_kate for very generously designing my branding (and also @rachzambernardi for being my sounding board during the process). Your faith in me means the world. And thank you to @simplyyvan for all the headshots, and for letting me talk things through with you before making any business decision ever. I am so very lucky.

(By the way, I still have and am obsessed with my full-time gig. I just love working with small businesses! Also, kids are expensive.)

To our chef, comedian, janitor, bodyguard, and cruise director—thank you for bringing out the very best of what this life has to offer us. We love being your family.

In addition to being an insomniac, I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It took me a LONG time to figure out how to treat my anxiety—so long that for a while, I thought it was just a part of my personality. The outbursts, constant spirals, and moments of paralysis made me hate myself. I tried therapy, meditation, yoga, CBD, etc. And they all helped a little, but not as much as the antidepressants I was prescribed a couple months ago when I decided to try medication.

We all know that mental health is important. We also know that it’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. If you’re privileged enough to keep fighting for yours, PLEASE do. I promise it’s worth it.
