Reading your words makes me feel more alive, more real and less alone.

You are hungry for the world to feel the love you have for it and to enjoy every bit of it with you.

That’s what I think

Reading this had the same effect on me as watching a cooking video, except here the recipe is life itself and its manifold ingredients. I too am hungry

When I read “[I] Feel forgotten by magic” I thought: “oh but darling, the magic is already with you”

I am so deep in this "both/and", "grateful but still" vibe at the moment. Your words resonate deeply, and I will think on them for quite some time. Thank you for sharing even though it feels, it IS, so vulnerable to admit that we want more, better, different, new, for us and the world, when we are already so privileged in this moment, so full ❤️

I used to know that hunger, but I let it go. Constantly yearning for what you don't have is exhausting and leaves you feeling more empty than before. LIfe is all around us for the taking.

I understand that perspective. It sounds so peaceful. At the moment for me it's a both/and. Maybe it will change one day ❤️

I think that 'finding value and belonging in your daily surroundings' And 'supporting the desire and yearning that someone has to make beauty and greatness by expanding authenticity in others' are statements that can coexist and can both be true

I think maybe that is the beauty of being a woman, to always yearn for more.

I wasn’t expecting to resonate so much with this, beautifully put 💙 I feel the hunger too, so much so it tears me in many different directions at once leaving me lost

Love this and especially love the last little note at the end about birds and leaves. It gave a bit of a feeling of resolution to how i too similarly often feel :)

it’s ok to be both ❤️

Thank you for reading ❤️ at the moment it feels like I am living both and I accept it. Maybe that will change one day.
