Happy birthday love + travel! Thanks for helping me grow in literature. This substack is the most consistent I’ve been with reading anything. And I am thankful it adds value to my life and confidence. Who knows, maybe I’ll finish a book this year lol So excited for what’s to come with this platform you’ve created!!
Yes for the self portraits. The hair. The sun beaming off the skin. The vibes!!! Chefs kiss ❤️
Initially I wanted to avoid that because I was afraid of passing on negative energy through my work. I wish you could’ve seen my efforts of trying to be positive as I’m painting and writing 😂. It worked sometimes but the more I stayed with it, I acknowledged every feeling that came to me. Too much effort to inhibit what I naturally need to feel in the moment. I had to wade in the murky feelings because a message is there. Turning those thoughts and emotions into art.🩶
Hahahaha we don’t want you to be emotionally constipated. Sometimes heartbreak needs to be on the page/canvas. It’ll resonate. Let someone else know that it’s okay to be exactly where they are. It sounds like you’ve given yourself that freedom, you get to pass it on. This was such an insightful share, thanks Alex.
Congratulations on 2 years. It feels like so many more writers are here now but I always remember your words and observations from the early days.
It’s grown a lot but the real ones live on! Thank you Deirdre.
My mind keeps traveling to “words and observations”. There’s something here. It feels grounding.
