I now find myself thinking about how the love should show up and/or be present in the in-betweens. I find myself realizing that I have yet to experience what that is like. Lots coming up with this one...I trust that this crossed my path at the exact time it was supposed to. Thank you (as always) for being a light.

Oouuu! I guess it’s one of those pieces that force you to sit with yourself. 🥹 Writing it had the same effect on me as well. It brought back memories I’m glad I’ve left behind. Hopefully, it will help you spot the fakes faster in the future.

Let me also add; love—real love—is looking for you and I can’t wait for it to find you (not one of those cheesy, cliche statements). You strike me as one with a lot of it to give. 🫂💚

It is not the sum of the whole but the weight of its parts that defines its true impact.

Great piece, Odi.

Hope you’re back. 🤔

You're welcome, Odi.

I am semi-back 😅. I log into Substack more these days, but still not as much as before.

When you see me post two essays in a row then I am most likely back 😅.
