This is the perfect essay on this cozy Sunday morning. You’ve been single-handedly making me take longer looks at myself and what I feel and felt love has been (for me). You’re helping me reshape what it looks like for me and being ok with the fact that it looks and might feel a bit different for everyone. Thank you for that💜
The way this just melted my heart. 🥹🥹 I’m sooooo happy you’re having such a positive experience with my work. We all need those long looks at ourselves from time to time. Wishing you so much pure love that makes all the wrong turns worth it. 💚🫶🏾
This made me smile! As someone who struggles with the “mortifying ordeal of being known” when it comes to romantic relationships this moved me and helped me to realize that in order to welcome love I have to be seen and should want to be seen. I have unfortunately framed thoughts that I must physically look a certain way to be deserving of love but like you said to be loved and to be seen is so so SO much more. This was healing. Thank you!
I feel every word you’ve written because I’ve been that person (still that person sometimes). But light can only penetrate us when we’re open. I remind myself often that a love that won’t stand SEEING me is not deserving of me, so I strive to see and give in to being seen. And how easy it is with the right person!
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. I’m glad it touched you. 💚
This is so beautiful, love is beautiful. I have never been able to fathom it and reading this makes more beautiful. To love is to see, wholly too. Love in my language is 'ife' which means ‘to want’ to have a wanting for someone or something.

Oouuu! Look at that. I’ve always loved the sound of “ife” but didn’t know its meaning. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in such a beautiful way. 💚
