Juneeeeee; this was so beautifully written, so incredibly arresting! Love love love this sentence: "All of my tryings and failings to belong, and my far and few attempts to actually become. "
On another note, I'm glad you're in a much better headspace &&& aha, love the baby disco balls! Now I want to hang up some too (':
i love your writing, so vulnerable and real. i imagine you are nearing your saturn return... it sounds very much like it. these are powerful years. i love what you said about not looking in the mirror, but just being. that resonated. thank you for sharing.
UGH "I want to become so much that I might one day belong undilutedly and uncompromisingly to myself." your words never fail to punch straight through my soul. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous as always !!!!
This is incredibly raw and honest, the way you capture the shift from being too much to too little really hits it feels deeply real and relatable. The ending especially feels hopeful in a grounded, tangible way, a beautiful piece.🤍
I am working on it, day by day. Somedays I feel so much compassion for the younger versions of myself, and sometimes I feel like I'm punishing myself for forcing them to exist at all. You don't know what you don't know though, so I can only be grateful they got me through!
I’m so grateful that you share all of this with us. It’s an honor to witness (even just in writing) how you’re blooming after feeling like you had to shrink during certain periods, like reconnecting with the fiery child you were (but in a different environment now)! Sending big hugs 🫂 & girl me and my mom definitely made each other cry in the past too. There was so much pain and dysfunction we had to sort through but our relationship is healing more now so im thankful for that.
The details in the way you write and express yourself are poetic.🌸 and I love your disco balls!🪩
I am so grateful to have you here! Truly and from the depths of my being I cannot believe I would find people here who support me and feel me and see me in this way.
I hold you all in my heart, with every word I write.
Every single one of your posts feels like home. I kid you not, I wish I could restack a quote of the majority of this beautiful article. The words feel like my own, but created by someone ever so talented. Please don’t ever stop writing <3
"Forever a work in progress, but now at least, a work of art." - a truly wonderful ending!! can relate to lots of the things you picked up on, loved what you ended on.
I've been coming across a number of articles about women learning to take up space and be there authentic self. It's been fascinating for me to read, including yours.

raw and honest is definitely my thing, thank you for your kind words like an embrace... I am honored to have this piece resonate with you!
I hope you have given yourself some grace for your hat years. 20s were rough on me, growth wise. 30s were much better.
