I’m sitting in reflection on my year and I can’t help but wonder if I’ve done all I set out to do. The short answer is no, of course. For I fear I am too ambitious and constantly fall short of my own dreams, no matter how much I pare them back to save myself the disappointment. At the end of 2021, I was feeling a mix of emotions. It was a year plagued by intense illness and a constant push and pull between my desire to be free–of anything and everything–and my desire to build a company that can sustain all of who I am. Yet I felt like I achieved neither, for my energy did not allow the relentless pursuit of a publishing empire and my illness trapped me in the basement of my very being. Freedom looked and tasted like being able to sleep in a quiet, cold room far away from where I really was… and that freedom was what I fantasised about every night to try and alleviate the pain of my suffering.

I love soooo much the idea that you hold on to for dear life, that you are writing yourself into your new life!
You are brave even when you feel anything but!
Goodness me, can you write! It is definitely your strength and thus not surprisingly the place where you can feel so challenged.
I am cheering for you!!!!
