Liora, your words hit so close to home. I wrestle with the same doubts all the time; wondering if anything I say matters, if it’s just echoing into the void. But then there’s a day someone like you shows up, shares something real, and it keeps me going.
Your poem is a reminder that even in the quiet, what we create can reach someone. Thank you for writing this.
I feel the same way, M3cents! Things have been off recently and I had to take a step back. Finally feel like I’m getting a handle on it and beautiful messages like this are such precious gifts. Your work is also very inspiring and, while engaging has been more difficult during my personal upheaval, I truly look forward to getting caught up on your posts. Seriously, thank you for your message💜
You and I have a great deal in common, Kristin - think that's one of the reasons why we vibe so well. I hate that you feel this, yet at the same time I'm glad that it resonates with you. Curious position to be in, you know? 💜
This is so raw and honest — thank you for sharing it. It takes real courage to name these feelings, let alone put them into words so clearly. I think a lot of us who write about pain and healing recognize ourselves in what you’ve written here. Even when it feels like no one is listening, your words matter — they’re reaching someone quietly, even if you don’t see it right away. Keep writing. Keep speaking. You’re not alone.
Thanks so much for your kind and timely words, Nat! I really appreciate it. I've seen too many damn good writers on here second-guess themselves or diminish their impact. I wrestle with my own self-doubt quite often, daily at times. I think so much of it comes from past trauma, but also the feelings we wrap around our work. It's sacred to transform your pain for the good of others. It can definitely be a raw and overwhelming experience. My hat's off to anyone doing this work - gotta go check yours out! 💜
Your words tickled this idea in me that, "this" is how we know we're not a robot. =) That we chase knowledge, and observe our own deep seeking with a twinge of skepticism built-in. <3
Haha! I love that. Yes, introspection is a good indicator for sure. I once ran one of my handwritten papers through an AI detector out of curiosity—it gave me a 33% chance of being a robot. Existential crisis lasted about five minutes, then I realized… apparently good structure and grammar make you suspicious now. 😅
Let me write in a ‘spin’ next time—guaranteed 0% chance. Balance.
This is a funny “problem” to have, because after all, the bots are trained after people. So, it is bots, emulating people, who are being accused of being bots! lol

Thanks Chanti! You’re so right—self-care is vital to be able to truly be of service to others. Truly appreciate your kind words 💜
Write for you.. it may seem it enters a void but believe me it teaches us. ❤️
Thank you, Brenda. Your writing and your comments are always precious to me. 💜
Liora, that is really lovely of you to say 🌸
Your words matter very much 🧡
Thanks Elijah 💜 appreciate you, friend!
Is this about me? It feels like it. Once again I have resonated deeply with your writing. Thank you for sharing. I have felt the same way many times.

Exactly! And for some reason my mind went straight to Ghostbusters: “Dogs and cats living together—mass hysteria!”
I love that your brain zoomed in the many social paradoxes found in Ghostbusters =) haha!
I love that you appreciate that! It is the spooky season… maybe a Ghostbusters rewatch is in order 🤪
If I were ‘in charge’ then I’d mandate an annual watch party =) haha
Working through homework but maybe later tonight!
