I love reading your words. Thank you for sharing them. I nodded along to this entire piece, as if it were a song I already knew yet hadn't heard in years.

"I felt a little bit indignant when someone makes it a point to tell me: don’t write about this in the Substack. As if I’m slinking around gathering everyone’s sordid details and chomping at the bit to reveal what I’ve been told in confidence. As if I have no self-control or awareness. As if I want to damage the most precious relationships in my life by sharing what’s not mine to share with strangers."

Yes, me too, same.

Sending hugs to you, fellow seeker. xo

Just riveting. All the toil and turmoil and wasted time of being a woman. It's a beautiful sorrow. An unbearable lightness. In the words of Julia Jacklin, "strong but willing to be saved, ignore the tenderness you crave."
