if this house is about to flood I AM PUTTING ON MY BIKINI AND DIVING RIGHT IN!!!!!!!! i love this and how compassionate you are about when the work gets hard. sometimes the best thing you can be is KIND TO YOURSELF when the process isn't going your way and nothing is working, but it's so hard!!!!!!!!

it is hard but i’ve found if i keep pushing the process when it won’t work then i’ll only burn out… sometimes things don’t go our way and that’s totally normal!!!

This was a balm to the soul :) I am the same as you - being able to write regularly here on substack has brought me such intense joy and it’s so good to be in tune with that part of me again 🤍

thank you!! writing weekly and having that goal has really helped me develop myself more, before i was so sporadic with it and had convinced myself i’d never get anywhere with it. now i keep proving myself wrong with every post i write :)
