Thanks for sharing these beautiful words. It gave language to what my heart has felt and what my path has been this last year. Incredible.
Also, I almost could have cried at the end. Are you Albanian? I have a tender spot in my heart for Albania. Spent some time there during a significant season in my life. Grew to love some people I haven’t seen now in 10 years. 💛
Thank you so much Heidi, your words really touched me. Yes, I was born in Albania and Albanian is my first language. It’s shaped so much of who I am, which is why I always sign off with me shumë dashuri. I’m so moved to hear that Albania holds such a special place in your heart!
"It is beautiful that you know how to love, but love that asks you to erase yourself is not love. You don’t need to disappear to be desired."
"You were never meant to be a mirror, you are meant to be a masterpiece."
Wow wow wow...these lines are so profound I stopped to re-read them several times over. Things I wish the version of myself in my 20s could have heard. Thank you for sharing your heart, for celebrating and empowering us all with these extraordinary insights. Just beautiful!
Thank you so much Jade! I’m so touched that those lines resonated with you. I wrote them for the version of me who also needed to hear them in her youth, so your reflection means the world.
"who failed you so early in life that you learned that being strong was safer than being human?" WOW. I feel like I need my thoughts to catch up to my feelings.
