So much of your story made me want to reflect on my own. To explore the contrasts and commonalities. To feel into the differences. No time to now - recognising that was enough. 💗
🙏🏻💜 There’s no need to reflect… just let it percolate on its own… what needs to come to the surface will naturally, in its own time. You’re exactly correct, reading was enough. 😉💗
Wow your story is raw, super introspective, and beautifully articulated. What hits most is your exploration of love - not as something merely spoken but something proven through action. That perspective carries lots of truth. I also respect your courage in breaking free from family expectations and redefining your own worth, despite the weight of old narratives. Your writing (for me, and especially this piece) isn’t just reflective, it’s transformative. You don’t simply tell a story. You invite us to examine our own. Thank you for sharing your truth with such honesty and depth.
Thank you, 🙏🏻 Angela. That means a lot coming from you 🫂💜.
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. I’m pretty confident I can say we’re comfortable thinking of that expression in terms of how we see others - whereas my writing is intended to expose how we do the same with ourselves; these old narratives become our cover story and we simply go along with them until we look beyond, beneath them, and truly discover our true story that we’re meant to tell, ourselves - not for or because of anyone else!
When I go to bed, I look back on my day to re-examine what my story was, how well did I write MY story? It’s the best bedtime story and I’ve never slept better!
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and for your compliments on my writing. It encourages me to keep going. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜

I friggin' LOVE you Ang! We've never met but your words speak to me and your heart makes mine vibrate!
Omg thank you, that's a lovely thing to say! Also how did I miss your newsletter? Subscribing now 😊
Honestly Ang, there's no obligation but you'd be so very welcome. 💕
I did have to laugh at myself though cos my first response was 'DON'T! It's not ready yet!' 😆
Well, your writing is beautiful from what I’ve read so far! I’ve never been able to write poems, and yours speak to me for sure.
😃💓
