Let's just say I have to get gone. If I ever get the chance to come back to SubStack... well, I may not be able to explain. And this was not easy. I just need to get out of here, Jeff. I didn't want to just disappear. Sending love to you.
Well why should we pay to read it if she’s leaving for whatever reason? It’s like get the money and the escape to leave the problem with those who were her subscribers? It is beginning to look like that is a trend of late.
Once I close this, I don't think the money will continue — and I do not blame you if you decide not to pay. There's just... stuff. Some of it personal...
Oh no! And, what Jeff said. I believe the internet is world wide. (-: Question: do I need to cancel my sub, or will it be automatic? I'll miss you Alicia!!!
I think once I close this down, there won't be a mechanism in place for payments to continue. I can look into it. I will hold no hard feelings if you decide not to continue. I do appreciate how long you did support, and I'm sorry if this feels like an abandonment.
Yes, what Jeff said! Please keep writing, even from another country! There are a number of substacks that I read and enjoy from expats, so I hope you’ll reconsider. I really enjoy your writing.
Well, I’m actually thinking very deeply about leaving the US as well. I don’t blame you but I also hope wherever you land, you’ll keep writing. I’ve enjoyed every word. Stay in touch with us here. 🙏
Make that a thruple. Don’t think I can stay sane for 3.7 more years of Mango Mussolini. My only quandary is where to go and whether I’d miss my kiddo too much 😢 Also, timing it in such a way that I can sell my home for a least most of what it’s worth.
I cannot blame you one bit. America has become the world's largest open air insane asylum and it doesn't look like things will get better anytime soon.
You do what you have to do. I hope you reconsider continuing to write. You have a great talent for literature. Be well and be safe, wherever you end up.❤️❤️
I have gay friends who have done that. They report a significant reduction in stress. I second others who are reluctant to lose your voice, wherever it is originating.
wait, why does leaving the country mean you have to close your substack?

That's my question.
Lorraine Evanoff: I am with you.
I could see going, say, to Canada.
But Alicia Norman is too precious.
We need her to KEEP WRITING.
My hesitancy over France or Germany is the upsurge in the right THERE.
In Canada, at least, they elected Mark Carney, a liberal.
But Alicia Norman must KEEP WRITING.
Good question!

Alicia, my best wishes that you be safe & well wherever you go, whatever you need to do.
You’ve got to be kidding me! PERSONAL reasons! That should explain it to you. Talk about kicking someone when they are down!😡
You will be missed. All the best to you. Take care of yourself. ❤️
Your voice will be missed but you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Sending love, light and hopes for many blessings in your new life.
Appreciate you, Tee Ree.

Tell you what Alicia. I'll leave it open, and you just throw us a bone occasionally! But seriously, take care of yourself.

Thank you, Paul. Sending you love.
Stay safe. We’ll miss you.
Good luck Alicia can’t say I blame you I canceled all US travel plans
I envy you, but not so much that I can’t wish you safe travels and fair winds. Your voice will be missed.
Love and peace to you. Thank you.
Wishing you all the best!!

Agreed...what will happen is gonna be historically unprecedented.
You do what you have to do. I hope you reconsider continuing to write. You have a great talent for literature. Be well and be safe, wherever you end up.❤️❤️
I appreciate you, Charles. Thank you.
