This is by far the most seen I have ever felt from a post. You spilled out everything so beautifully and I am comforted to know I am not alone. Please know you have something wonderful here, something that is making a difference. You are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. Never stop. <3
This is more relatable than you probably could ever realize. Just yesterday I was telling my friend, “every day feels like an existential crisis. All I’m trying to do is be honest but it feels like nobody cares, everyone is on autopilot. What are we all doing here?!” And on and on it goes in my brain, every day 🤣. I loved your poem too!
Thank you so much Lindsay! I’m so glad you could relate to it, I’m definitely having those thoughts and asking myself those exact same questions most of the time too 🥹
Wow. I just downloaded Substack and this is one of the few pieces I read. Although I will say that self deprecating (how do I say kind of depressing without sounding cheeky) poetry isn’t really my thing, your writing is raw and real. It felt like I was reading an inner monologue in its truest form, just pure thoughts, one after the other which I’m sure we’ve all had at some point. Never stop writing!!! This is amazing.
you expressed so many vague and unformed thoughts floating around in my head so eloquently, this is beautiful! ❤️and you poem was something i really needed. we get carried away with thinking that we always have to make the best of bad circumstances and not complain, but it is so important to allow yourself to be unhappy about how things go and expressing that, and it has taken me a while to realize that and your poem definitely helped me see that its okay to be upset over things going wrong❤️❤️
Thank you so so much for this and for reading, it really means the world to me ❤️ and I couldn’t agree more, we do need to allow ourselves the space to feel whatever we need to feel!
Thank you so much for this, it means the world to me! Congratulations on starting your writing journey, it truly is amazing, and I couldn’t agree more that writing for ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do :) here’s to many many more years of writing!

Your poem and vulnerability are beautiful.
There are many people who will resonate with these feelings. Myself included.
Thank you so much, Natalia ❤️ I really appreciate it

you may have not started with an idea and a title, but you did finish what you began in a beautiful way.
❤️ thank you so much for reading and for this sweet comment!
I think the mango poem really cuts through the overused "when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade" crap.
It made me realise how common and lifeless that phrase has become.
Thank you so much! I always felt like that expression was a little invalidating of our feelings, if that makes sense.

Not one of the same here. Just found you. Loved this piece. The style, the questions without question marks, the allegretto.
Started writing just last year.
Writing for yourself must be one of the most powerful things humans can do. Hope you can continue doing it for many years to come
