I admire how much life you've packed into your 38 years. Hi! Introductions suck, in my humble opinion. I'd much rather just take a deep dive into the good stuff. Looking forward to being part of your community. :)
Thank you, Silvia, good stuff will hopefully come:)
I agree, but also disagree, because writing this letter made me feel grounded and connected to myself. Usually I have a tendency to “fly over” my achievements and belittle them. But here I finally was able to treat myself with love and respect and see some connections. But good stuff is more fun anyways, cannot wait to publish the next letter. Now gotta pack stuff!
Being a copywriter really messed me up creatively as well... All those years of "results-oriented" and "right to the point" kind of writing, often in public Google docs where everyone and their mother could give me their feedback in real time, left me crippled. 😅 Had to do a lot of journaling and work on myself to find my authentic voice after that. And to dare to write fiction again.
Thank you Louise ❤️ and yes advertising copywriting is very cruel to the creative mind. I remember rewriting slogans for weeks without any idea if they are good anymore. Ugh, don’t miss those days.
Thank you for being such an inspiration to someone who has come along from a similar path in so many ways. I hope you keep creating amidst all the chaos. <3 Lots of love from Canada!

That is a very good and valid point. How often do we look back on our lives and feel proud of everything we've done...not that often, do we? :)
Thank you Vera for this beautiful introduction. 🖤
