thanks for being here. this came at such a resonant time for me. i’m about to turn down a glitz and glam job, with people i love but don’t like to be around. i don’t want their life, and i don’t hold their values. i’m tired of goals i don’t want that make me feel hollow and bitter. i can’t pretend that i want them anymore, or that they’re good for me. it seems like a ridiculous choice to turn down, but i feel like me when i say no. i feel a certain warmth and opening, and i hope it goes further & further
This was exactly what I needed to hear as I fret over how much time I "waste" maintaining life that feels so trivial in the face of all the madness...a massive comfort.
It comforted me, and it inspired me to keep finding the beauty in mundane tasks, connecting to the people around me -- as well as starting fun pursuits by just showing up.
This was exactly what I needed today! Such a beautiful piece of writing. I'm so glad your Instagram account came on my feed last year. Your content helped me a lot! I always look forward to reading your pieces on substack. You helped me realise that my sensitivity is a strength. I appreciate you as a human being ❤️ thank you for everything that you do.
What a wonderful piece. I’m so delighted every time I find another writer on substack writing about the possibility for an alternate life, one where we feel present and like we have enough. I’m coming up on a year of leaving my emails job and going back to the service industry and I’ve oddly never felt more fulfilled.
