Every year, Bloomberg shares a Jealousy List of the stories they most admired (slash wish they would’ve written). Here’s my 2025 Jealousy List for Substack:

1. Once Upon a Time I had a Body by Olivia Muenter: Tender and honest — and I read it when my own body anxiety was at a fever pitch.

2. 10 Things I Don’t Feel Bad About by Grace Atwood: Great concept. Funny, too.

3. What Makes a Person Interesting by emily north and My Ex Told Me I Loved Everything by Angelina Hazzouri: I’m jealous of everything Emily and Angelina write, but especially these essays. They’re not intended to go together per se but definitely do.

4. Six People on Their First Date Outfit Formulas by Viv Chen: A fun lens to view six very cool & different people through.

5. Turning My Kitchen Into My Favorite Restaurant by Jenna O'Brien: Thoughtful, beautifully designed, and whimsical (like Jenna’s entire pub).

Will probably remember more as soon as I post this.
