Consistency, truth, showing up. I’ve been writing here 6 months and I relate so much to what you’ve shared here.

Happy birthday @The Glorious Fail and Brave Eleni! You overcame the fear, you showed up and kept inspiring us week after week! I will keep these thoughts handy to read whenerever I catch myself fearing or having second thoughts. I write and publish and learn in the process. It is slow and I have to lean in, I know. You are my heroine!

I loved reading this, so many great lessons and many that I can relate to. Especially 11: "The essay that took four hours and came out clean will get fewer responses than the one that spilled out in twenty minutes from a place you didn’t know was bleeding" resonates haha.. it always bugs me, but it is actually a useful reminder to not overthink too much. Thanks for sharing, and huge shout out to your dedication!

Nathalie, thank you for reading. Funny how the pieces we overthink the least are often the ones that resonate the most, don’t you think? 😊

“Consistency is identity. You don’t miss things that are part of who you are.” Love this lesson. Thank you!
