And Hannah (Lena Dunham) walks out of the apartment against a crowd of faceless women. I felt that.

She gets it. “All adventurous women do”?? and dancing your troubles away in your room? The coke episode? ”Maybe I don’t want to be happy?” The pressure of success in creative fields and parents that don’t get it. Like yeah. Everyone watch Girls rn.

I grew up in Williamsburg/Greenpoint how could I NOT relate …. I have always thought I was a mix of Marnie and Shosh but now I fear I might just be full Hannah. Soundtrack hits, cast is stacked, and Lena is the voice of my generation. Now that I’m away from home this keeps me connected to my roots.

A few thoughts on what makes a good voice note from brendonholder.substack.com…
Every good voice note has a hook. For me, close friends will know that my hook is one introductory note in which I say two words: “Okay, so.” Record. Send. This is a warning for the receiver of the voice note. Take a bio break, go to a private area, grab some popcorn, and put in your headphones. You’re about to go on a ride.
Pauses and cliffhangers. I have been known to end a voice note on a cliffhanger and leave for a couple of hours before I do another voice note. I promise this isn’t entirely for suspense. It gives the receiver(s) a chance to catch up and respond. I enjoy when a voice note can act as a substitute for an actual phone call rather than be a voicemail dump that you listen to at the end of the day. As a result, I prefer to voice note when I know a captive audience is waiting. I genuinely love it when I drop the voice note and can see the bubbles of who is responding and to what part.
Get creative. Recently, I have been experimenting with a multitude of imagery to supplement voice notes like here when I was explaining the connection between a dream I had to someone’s business I had no reason to be in. Sometimes a jury just needs an exhibit to lean the verdict in your favour.
The voice. I mean, duh. The message’s timbre is guided by our tone, odd turn-of-phrases, stutters and laughter, bloopers and cut-offs. A capsule of your humanity flashes and then is no longer there, evaporating from your phone as soon as you’re finished listening. The ephemeral nature of a voice note feels as intimate as a cupped whisper from your friend. It’s precisely yours until it’s no one’s.
