When you write like that, you ARE casting a spell over each and every reader. It seems and feels like you are writing a letter just to me. Believe me, I normally would never have written or responded to anything like this in my previous self but when I read your letters I'm compelled and almost forced to respond. Never in my wildest dreams or thoughts would I ever have thought that I would enjoy the writings of you and a few others that I've discovered on IG. LOL, I used to look forward to Fridays being the end of the work week but now it's due to receiving your letters. Thank You for opening my eyes to the non-physical world and beings.
I feel incredibly grateful for your kind words here each week - and glad that my letters can provide a moment of whimsical escape! I'm very thankful to have found some of my favourite writers on IG, too. For all its faults it has also paved the way for magic.
I absolutely adore the imagery of standing in front of my creative selves, ready to defend and protect them. Thank you for the encouragement, and the inspiration. We are not our inner critics... we are many things, like you write about in that beautiful poem. Love it. Thank you so much.
It's funny how that works isn't it: we see other writers and makers taking up space in the world. And we love what they make, we value it. It brings us joy and resonance and a feeling of being not alone. But when we turn that around, when we think, 'what if I shared too?' we feel scared to take up space and that no one will want to hear our own story.
Remember that for ever other writer whose words have touched you, there is a reader out there who will feel the same about your own.
