I enjoyed reading this post, too. The narration was wonderful as well.
You touched on a question that probably a lot of us think about. How we change over time or how our preferences or priorities change. (I was smiling when you talked about the number of polos and I was thinking how I would wear the same dresses for years and years...)
Having a fan here who's known you for a long time must be really good. And I am sure that you deserve her support.
I like your style as well. It comes across as humble, loving and straight forward, easy to understand. That attitude, the speed and accent of your speech (your Southern drawl) gives it a unique taste (as my literature teacher would say). It's authentic. It's you. And you open a window for your readers to look through with your writing, which is engaging and relatable.
I am looking forward to reading more of your work. :)
Love this! So many good lines. One towards the end I liked in particular; I can’t see it now but it was about being mindful. I know what you mean when you say you’re still you, and definitely relate to the upheaval/ rebirth. It helps me to think there is no static self who sometimes missteps but rather a human whose being is a collection of doing, saying, thinking, and feeling… Overall, that being is love and light, always there, no matter what forms it took, for however long it took them. Sounds like you’ve experienced your own enlightenment!
Experiencing is more like it! It never ends, there's always more to learn. Haha, I'm typing this twice because I tried to copy a quote from your comment 🙃 maybe we'll both figure out how to use this app eventually. I love the "no static self" idea. 🤍Thank you for participating in the conversation Jennifer, this interaction is what makes Substack great. **btw- in addition to the mistake above, this has actually been sitting in the comments, not reply all day!
