The first substack to make me cry. Turns out, love isn't as scary as I spent my whole life believing it to be.

I cried while reading this. The way you webbed your friends' advice throughout this was so beautiful

I love the concept of interweaving your friends' statements into such a tender and vulnerable piece. the words of those around you serve as fragments of mirrors pointed towards your own experience.

I will come back to probably read this once a month. It makes me teary eyed and warm in my chest to read about love this way. I feel loved everyday but I do not hear it in beautiful thoughtful ways like this as much as I like. Your words (and those of your inner circle) are a healing balm over my battered heart. Thank you my fellow Libra 💕
