Indy I felt these words so heavy. There’s so many things I wanna create. Ideas filling up notebooks and my notes app. But I’m choked up in fear. In not knowing which to do first

INDIA SEVERE!!!! i read this immediately and i rarely read anything nowadays.

who you are already matters!!!! it was always enough. the gifting you have to be able to share your mind, as raw & creative as you do. (the desire for absolute perfection is real, with many eyes on you), but what beauty you possess in all of your realness. you are so real

parallel processing with you ms girl. Your words feel like a weighted blanket of raw support. your joy will return i just know it

It feels like I was meant to read this today. I have been struggling even letting myself put thoughts down because I’m disappointed on how much I have fallen behind.

You inspire me in so many ways, even through a screenshot Sunday roundup. I feel that right now in our online culture it’s harder to be appreciative of the work we have done rather than judge the work that is unfinished or not started.

Keep going, keep writing, we will be right here!!!

Duude!! So many of us prefer messy on here. Fuck perfect, fuck overthinking. We are here to know your mind- honestly- and what better way to see your POV than an unfiltered word dump that you publish without even a re-read? Promise you, none of us are judging nor are we going anywhere. We want REAL + RAW INDY

I will always be a reader (((even in 10 years when you’re off the internet))) [or wherever you are! Because I do care! And love reading your thoughts!] <3

Tender thoughts, Indy. Many years ago, after the severing of marital ties, I was that fearful, healing, shell of a once powerful, step-into-the-dark mama. I can tell you that it took about five years for the real me to come back to life. And I have been building on the blocks of that woman ever since. It is rare to feel insecure at this point in time. In fact, my age is a gift. So much I have learned. And my life is better than ever. Yours will be as well. Caring for your babies will give you the strength you need. You will emerge eventually and see that the scars make beautiful patterns. ❤️
