And also thank you for the kick in the ass I needed to stop overthinking my novel manuscript! “Shame, a construct that society forces you to feel, usually following comparison, is made-up. Shame is a scam that forces beautiful art to hide inside laptops, dresser drawers, or maybe even underground!”

Hellooooo, Bobbie! So excited to see you. And thank you for THIS: “It’s my way of reminding you that humanity exists, and that we are all yearning and craving and fantasizing for more life.”

I so relate to (gently or not gently) trying to push my newsletter on people, especially a certain loved one, like in my case a boyfriend who does not otherwise read. It's a tough one. I am trying to make peace with the not-reading inclination of my lovers, and deciding instead that a good reader can exist in anyone and I don't need everything I need to come from one person.

Love what you're doing always! Hello!

It sounds like we’re on the same boat! I agree with you - I think it’s about accepting where other people are at. And maybe they’ll come around when they’ve created enough space to feel things ♥️🙏🏼
