the first paragraph spoke to me and how i've felt recently, so much so that i reread it twice before moving on. im a month into my two-month semester break, and i sort of feel like just a shell of a human. there are things i know i enjoy but i find them so hard to do. im too emotional of a person so reading through this made me wanna cry, mostly bc you wrote down words i wasn't able to put together. something i've been feeling and something i crave to feel. insightful as always, i hope you have a good week tara <3
You have such a beautiful way with words that always makes me feel more grounded. You point out the beauty and relatability in the human experience because you appreciate it all. Love you
i just spent this past hour catching up with some of the newsletters i missed, and i just have to say: you have the loveliest soul. sometimes i smiled while reading, other times i cried, and this time it felt like gazing into a mirror.
when i was younger i did the same thing and still do. i never thought much of it until i noticed how i flinch when i see my reflection, distraught at the vaguest notion of reality. my other me still doesn't carry my name, but i carry hers.
thank you for your wonderful words as always. i have a lot to think about now lol.
I resonate with the challenge of identifying and holding onto who we are, our ideal self. This is a lovely piece... I'm always watching for the moment that touches me deepest and today it was this line that brought tears to my eyes: "She would just look like me, but translucent and glowing from so many little flames, each one something that brings me divine joy."

"My ideal and reality
They are too far apart
But I still want to cross the bridge
and reach me
the real me"
