Hello Tara! I’m Arial Stanton, a big fan of Amplified, but of course you’ve heard that a lot, I’m guessing. I live near Portland, just across the bridge to Washington (I don’t know if you still live there, but whatever) , but I really want to let you know

Aw, thank you Arial (awesome name, btw)! I, unfortunately, do not live in Portland anymore. I had to move against my will and I miss it dearly. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this—way to make a writer feel inspired
