Mate. I can’t enunciate the feelings this just brought up so instead can we virtually have one of our long hugs which would be awkward with anyone else but have never been for us? Cool, thanks. Also, I’m beyond excited for your 2nd and 3rd book - beyond! Xx

What a gorgeous essay. I relate to a lot of what you've shared, so generously, here. I will definitely contemplate on what it's like to sit in the question. I like to make decisions and move forward but I think sometimes that causes just as much anxiety. I know it's supposed to be small steps and let go of the outcome but my reality feels more like gripping on for dear life.

I think it's awesome that you've written a book, and kept so much of your work to yourself until it's ready! Best of luck with getting published and sharing it with the world, Nelly 🩷
