I am learning this. Just live, "be", and aim for expressing the authentic. Others (like yourself) are out here doing the same. Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

I really appreciated this piece! It was very encouraging and I love that searching and digging for beauty metaphor ๐Ÿ’› I've got quite a few half written pieces in a notebook and on my phone and photos I'd love to share and recommendations I'd love to share but just not sure where to find the margin to actually sit down and type something out and post it. But I'll keep writing and taking photos and one day, I will post my first post here ๐Ÿ˜Š but even if I don't, I do love creating and I love the encouragement to just do it anyway.

This is so needed as I make excuses to myself when it comes to publishing my first substack newsletters. Eek! Thank you for these powerful words!

Just think of all the time youโ€™ve come across someone elseโ€™s words right when you needed them. Your words can do that for other people, Caroline โค๏ธ

Certainly relevant for me, Iโ€™ve got unpublished things just sitting because Iโ€™ve been undecided for a myriad of reasons. ๐Ÿ™ˆ I have also felt like I need quiet to create, but the times I feel more inspired is generally in the thick of something.

Thank you, Breanne x

I have to find the balance of making โ€œquietโ€ so I can create and challenging myself to push through when that canโ€™t happen. And I have to fight not to hoard my drafts too. Releasing them into the wild is like a promise to yourself that you can do it again!
