Yes! And isn't joy what we cling onto when we need hope after despair. I think courage is to feel it all yet hold onto nothing. Not the pain that we might think so clearly defines us, nor the euphoria - the love, the joy, that we might tell ourselves saves us. Presence is what brings me ultimate depth. Whether it's sitting with a heart torn into pieces, or one that is filled with immense joy. And isn't that - to feel and let go, feel and let go, feel and let go - ultimately what frees us from the walls, the fear, the uncertainty..
Just something that came to me with my morning coffee while my babes allowed me 5 minutes of feeling and letting go haha
When you said that happiness is almost harder to write about because of the fragility. This is something I intuitively felt as well but tried to ignore. Holding life is precious once you do make it to the other side. Sensitivity is important. Thank you for this <3
“Deep doesn’t mean heavy. I can feel deeply and still walk lightly.” I love this. Yes, depth is all encompassing- It can feel heavy or light based on our capacity to hold it. 🤍
Oooof yes! I had a moment at the midway point of writing my memoir when I had the very visceral realisation that I am here to enjoy, not endure. Allowing that knowing to shape what I create still feels very new, but it has been incredibly liberating...

Absolutely loved this. Let’s normalize living & thriving for our art instead of dying for it. ❤️🔥
