This is so vivid and raw. I can feel the weight of that voice and the struggle to reclaim your own space. Thank you for showing that healing is possible, even when it feels impossible at the moment. One step at a time really resonates here.✨

Thank you so much for this. That’s exactly what I wanted The Echo to hold — the weight of isolation itself, speaking in its own voice. I wanted to show that even inside the silence, there’s still a rhythm leading back to healing — one sunlit step, one breath of fresh air at a time. ✨🫶

Lately I have been clinging to my silence reserving my energy 🫶🏼✨

Oh, I think that’s really healthy at times. I love my solitude. When that’s a choice for your well-being, so much different💜

Air, light, sound - This makes the experience so immediate. It’s like I can feel the space you’re describing Liora. Hope you are doing well friend.

Hi Neela; thanks so much for reading and your thoughtful comment! I am doing well. 💜 While old scar tissue can still make its presence known in times of stress, I’ve become a great deal more adept at recognizing it and taking action. This I write to those still fighting this battle and to remind myself. Hope you are doing well, too, my friend!

That’s beautifully said Liora.

Recognizing the old scars without letting them define us is such powerful work. I’m so glad you’re doing well. I am needing some rest as I have the horrible flu ugh!

Anyone who feeds colony kitties is all right in my book. +1 *subscribes instantly*

Oh, thank you so much! It’s always so good to meet people who resonate with that. I think most would call me a “crazy cat lady” lol. The truth is my budding colony played a huge role in helping me not disappear. My tether when the world felt insane.

She hijacks moments

I’m at my lowest—

twisting my words ‘til

I fear being free.

That's powerful. Very relatable.

I’m glad it resonated. It’s always hard to articulate the mix of emotions when my darker pieces land with someone—my empathy runs a little wild there. If it offered a steady hand, I’m grateful. 💜

Lol. For a second I thought you were talking about me!! Then it hit me, we all have been there, some still there. Thank you once again for naming the unnamable chaos.

Liora Writes's avatar

Aw thanks Tasha! I hate that you know the feeling but I’m glad it resonated with you. We have to lift each other up, which you have always done for me, my dearest friend. Thanks so much for being there and being you💜✨🫶
