such a gift in words and images, blooming and on your own birthday i hope you get back just a portion of what you give of your generous alert inquiring soul
Appleton, your words brought a smile to my face! Writing this was emotional, but I feel very at peace. Thank you for always offering such soothing support. xo
Thank you, Alexandra! I must confess that I cried while writing this because I felt like the words were coming from a very familiar yet mysterious place. I appreciate your presence here. xo
Last night, I was writing some passages when a rush of emotions came over me. I couldn’t resist sharing some of them here. It’s mostly about how what’s special to us can feel both so close and so distant at the same time. Thank you for reading.
Oh, Mary. Your words mean a lot to me. Connecting with you has been especially meaningful because I feel we have so much in common! Thank you for reading. xo
I feel like my birthday sparked the inspiration for this essay, but there’s so much more to it. I hope you’re doing well. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me here or on any other platform we share! xo
Happy belated birthday! A lot of this resonated with me, from the metaphor of gold to the courage to be vulnerable and writing to express our shared humanity. These things have been on my mind lately too.
Thank you for writing and sharing this piece, the world is better because of it :)
Thank you so much for the kind birthday wishes and for taking the time to read my essay, Azark! I’m touched that the metaphor of gold, as well as the themes of vulnerability and shared humanity, resonated with you. It’s always comforting to know that others are reflecting on similar things. I’ve also enjoyed joining your newsletter—it’s great! xo
"When we go back and look at the same things again, there’s always a detail or nuance we can re-signify. There is profound humility in caring for what we hold dear in a realistic manner. Writing teaches us slowly, lesson by lesson."
beautiful beautiful - to re-signify, to be taught by our own actions... thank you T.
What a gorgeous, emotional, and uplifting piece Thaissa. I love the gold metaphor, it rings so true and vividly. Happy birthday! I hope this new year brings you serenity, joy, peace, and love. 💗
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Arty! I’m delighted that the gold metaphor struck a chord with you, as it holds a deep meaning for me as well. xo
Happy Birthday beautiful human! I hope the cake is/was amazing and you have or had a wonderful day. My birthday passed this summer but when the next one rolls around I am going to read this post for myself, I love the reflections and call to inner knowing.
The birthday is tomorrow, D, but I had to bake the cake yesterday! I’m so honored that you consider my work a special birthday read. Thank you for everything. You rock, girl! xo
Gold to me is such a feeling: like the warm liquid of love from whence we all came, and where we'll all return. We're lucky when we get little visits from it here and now. And I think we get more when we forgive, though I am often the only barrier to it with the things I won't let go. Beautiful work.
Isabel, from reading your work and seeing how you express yourself, I really believe we share similar views on life. I’d even say we have some very similar feelings. I’m wishing you strength as you continue practicing forgiveness—it’s not easy, but it’s healing for you and your loved ones. Also, happy early birthday! I remember you celebrate one day after me. P.S. I was able to catch the Emmys from here, and please let Belíssima know it was wonderful to see her (and Diane) glowing with that golden aura. xo

I really feel this so deeply. I actually have tears. Your writing and your message both spoke to my heart. Thank you.

That was exactly the feeling I had reading them.

Your writing is beautiful and this piece perfectly sums up the person I've got to know in you in such a short time.

I feel the same way. 🙂
There’s a strangeness I feel as my birthday approaches too…these words bring me comfort!

Thank you, E! Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the power of language—how it can influence outcomes and transform everything. xo
