In an interview with Huffington Post, July speaks of her seemingly ‘mundane’ interest, “I’ve tried to get friends to do this with me before: let’s send each other emails that we’ve sent to our moms or our boyfriends or something. There is something about the mundane-ness that feels very intimate to me.’
