Love this article! So so true - and over the years, it’s why I’ve come back to writing time and time again. It’s also why the name of my newsletter/coaching business is “Shared”, because I think everything we crave and benefit from comes from shared experiences and connection. It’s so so beautiful and powerful 🤍

honestly, the longer I live the longer I feel that connection is... the core of everything 🥺

Love this so much! Especially the first line, as someone who decided she wanted to become a writer in my late teens early twenties I always read “so and so always knew they wanted to write since the age of 5/6” and I used to think I haven’t wanted it that long so I’m not a writer but it doesn’t matter when you start.

yes yes yes!! I think it's such a dangerous rhetoric that you 'always know' if you're a writer <3 IT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU START !!!

The first time I tried to order, there wasn’t an option (that I could figure out, lol!) for international shipping. I just tried again and I was able to order. Yay!!!

I hope the zine is still available by February payday! There’s been a lot of treating myself this month (rightly so!) and so it will have to wait a while. I love your page and gave it a shout-out in my first post on Substack ❤️
