‘A lifetime of softening my presence, of making myself more palatable, of making sure I was easy to love and easier to leave behind.’ Oh I felt this deeply. Thank you for sharing.
Once you said, “ of making sure I was easy to love and easier to leave behind.” I knew this was going to hit home. It just kept getting deeper and deeper like a combination of numerous journal entries. Thank you for voicing this so clearly.
thank you for reading and for noticing the depth I tried to accomplish in this piece. the more I write (and share), the more I find myself able to name the feelings and experiences that silenced me before. it means a lot that you’re on this journey with me!
Wow, razor sharp. This healed something in me. We become so much more vibrant when we aren't intent on being more palatable to others. We are whiskey not water, and we are not for everyone.
So so so incredibly powerful and well stated. I feel blessed to be able to better understand your growth and observe the power of your beautiful story. Never stop!
wow this really hit home. it's scary at first and then it feels like a tremendous weight has been lifted. once you've felt the freedom, it's hard to be around people or situations that try to shrink you once again. so beautifully written. thank you for sharing <3
absolutely! learning ourselves/our self-worth, it completely changes how we spend our energy and our time, and on whom. cheers to us for being on this journey. thank you for reading <3

That's the greatest gift of writing, in my opinion. There's always more to unlock within ourselves. Unanswered questions, suddenly answered.
