Dear Me and Mr. Darcy,
I could've read your website like letters over and over again with familiarity and a hint of mystery. Firstly, the content is what kept me reading and reading. I know you. I can hear your voice through your adventures of love, travel, photography and writing. Additionally, your narrative approach is personable while still remaining to be extremely informative between your worldly experiences to the simple desire of having someone to watch endless hours of Netflix with on the couch.

The combination of images from your own personal life and more materialistic photographs complement each other. Your website makes me feel like you're my best friend that I will never know everything about you. You capture stories of virginity, war, self-rejection, masculinity and more in a tasteful and dazzling style without undermining any of it. Overall, the entire website is interactive because I found myself navigating through your life and listening to you tell me how to navigate through my own. The emojis, images, the quotations and the different fonts keep the website organized and interesting. The website, meandmrdarcy.com, communicates to an audience that isn't limiting but it's for those who want some guidance.
With that being said, you have a way of channeling to that specific audience, that audience still being big. Your audience is those people who haven't found themselves and those people who have found themselves but not their person. My biggest take away is that you wrote in the style of letters and lessons addressed to nobody specific, but your words have spoken to someone and will keep speaking to people. Your words spoke to me in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. Monique, I write to you with "buckets full of rainbows from here to wherever you are."
Sincerely,
A writer hoping to find her core
Molly
