Omg this is a masterpiece!! I love how you open up with a scene and the different parts in it, and then you break down the feelings connected to that moment. It’s so magical. Reading this made me feel like how I assume my readers feel when reading my writing. You can tell how intuitive it is. You can read the different intuitive voices. I don’t think that should be cleaned up to be more cohesive. That’s boring.

I know from experience that as you keep writing from this place, the words will shift and form into their own thing. This piece may feel messy but it’s your magic trying to work itself out. It’ll get more cohesive (to you) as you write more from this place.

Ooh I’m so excited!! You hit the jackpot. Write more please ✨

You put my writing into perspective every time. Thank you so much for your sweet words. As I reread it I started to feel the same way. Like this was exactly how it was meant to be. And other things started flowing easier by writing this. I immediately felt lighter.

I also had the thought that the more I write like this or however feels good, the write words will continue to form.

Thank you! That's the plan!

This genuinely feels like my mind had a baby hahahaha! When I create for others I feel so so boxes up. Claustrophobic. Like stuck in a room forcefully without any of the things I love and with no light and no one to talk to, you know? And I hate the word 'helping' too! Because I do the work for me! You getting helped is just a repurcursion lol. Love this! Thank you for writing!

Haha I'm so glad it resonates! Oh yeah. I love helping people, I do. And there are ways that I do go out and specifically "help" other people. And the creating is for me first, them second! I want what I create to help other people nad have and have an impact, but right now, it seems to be that it needs to be for me first. Maybe that will change. I'm not sure. I feel like by living it, that's what creates space for others too!

And you are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read it!

"Why haven't I figured it out yet?"

I ask the same question every single day.

I too want to inspire others to live a life that suits them, to fully create it. At the same time I take another course in marketing, and what to write so people will click the buy button on my soon-to-come offer.

But I'm convinced the right people will read this post, and resonate with it, and ask you what you offer. And then they buy, and there's your funding to do more of what you love, and inspire more people by sharing your life.

Not everything online has to be another lesson or take-away point for people to feel seen.

Yes! I do agree! That's where I wonder if I should just pour all my energy into creating as much as possible.
