A thank you from the airport

January 31, 2025

I'm writing to you from the airport, and I just wanted to say thank you. It's been a week since "A Little Kinder" came out, and seeing people from all over the world find the song has really touched me. I love it when you tell me where you're listening from.

The rest of this letter is for JOA's Diary readers.

No spam. Just JOA.

Hi, I hope you're all doing well!

I'm writing to you from the airport, and I just wanted to say thank you. It's been a week since "A Little Kinder" came out, and seeing people from all over the world find the song has really touched me. I love it when you tell me where you're listening from.

All of this makes me want to write, and I've been writing a lot. Knowing that my lyrics mean something to you makes me want to be even more honest. Sometimes it's also a bit much, all of it. Then it helps to do something with my hands. This week I made bracelets, and it wasn't hard to decide what to put on them.

And now I'm on my way to London for a writing trip. I can't wait to see what the city does to my songs.

XOXO
JOA
