Thanks Elijah! I’ve been circling imposter syndrome, which is so real in these spaces. I’m making strides in my academic and professional life and, truly, it’s a lot.
My hope is to share things here that truly help others, whether by offering different perspectives or providing more language for the stuff we deal with.
All that love reflected back, Elijah - you are truly a beautiful soul 💜
I am a redneck oilfield worker with 0 education beyond highschool. Yet i am very accepted here.
You are as well
Substacks algorithm is super weird. I had to look you up to have your work suggested
So never take numbers as reality..
One trick that's always worked for me is realizing everyone has a sense of impostor syndrome. Once you realize nobody knows what the hell they're doing you feel a hell of a lot more at peace.
Always remember writing is for you, but even if it's expressing hurt or something seemingly simple, it will be for others too
You have never been a fraud, you're a genuine sweet soul who writes beautiful and honest poetry..
Glad that you're starting to get back into the flow of life
Suffering is universal, but so is love
Much love to you Liora. I hope you win the battles you cannot speak about

Miss seeing you here..
Aw thanks, Elijah. I had to step back for a while. I was posting, but I wasn’t in a good mental space.
Coming back into myself, layer by layer.
It wasn’t this space, just life being life. I’ve missed everyone here.
I’m jumping back in when I can.
