Hi Caitlin. If this is the quality of writing "straying from your path" produces, please, by all means, stray! Lose yourself further; fall deeper. Your discomfort results in my immense pleasure, not at your pain, obviously, but at your results. The lucidity of your thinking, the mastery of your word skill produced in my own mind phantasmagorical, though parasympathetic, reflections. In other words, I raced frantically down your rabbit hole with you, but landed softly in a state of peace. You have a voice that thrills and inspires, but also calms and reassures. I am so grateful you posted this self censuring essay. It entertainingly admonishes each of us like-minded souls to stay true to ourselves, to assess our authenticity more regularly, and to correct course more lovingly when necessary. What a lovely work of art this post is. Thank you.
Andrew your comment made my morning, thank for taking the time to share it with me! I’m glad this piece spoke to you, I hope you’ll stay a while and continue this creative journey with me 🖤
This is awesome. I love both your vulnerability of sharing the thorn and your strength sharing your rose, which is the way. Even if we come across buds along the way, it’s part of the artist’s journey !

What a gorgeous metaphor Thomas, I’m going to remember that one. Excited to share all that this journey has to offer me 🖤
Hooray for creative renewal and care. ◡̈
