I keep telling myself I need to get better about leaving my apartment and working from somewhere else! I also LOVE apartamento 710 and keepsake — and The Process <3
Please never leave I looooove your substack!!! It’s one of my favorites on this platform (and I’ve been here a long time). It is SO normal to want a break at times and full permission to take it, to change, to break apart, to make things look different, but pls never stop 🥹 Hugs ♥️♥️♥️
Ah Gwen, you are the sweetest – thank you for these kind words. If you took one look at my natal chart, you'd definitely understand the needing to do things on my own terms and constant transformation (aries sun, aquarius moon, scorpio rising hahahaha)
It would be a freaking HONOR to read your chart for you one day!!!! And yes - the constant struggle between the Aquarian need to connect and the Scorpionic urge to hide. <333
This really resonated Nikki! I definitely experience these slumps, but for me that usually means I just need to seek out a new source of inspiration that will make my writing feel new and exciting again-- here's hoping you get your excitement back, as I really enjoy your writing!
Mmmmm I love that! And definitely agree. It's always a fun journey finding new ways to be inspired. Thank you for the sweet note. I hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much for this honest share, it`s so relatable! Also love your ``cold outreaching``, I`ve been feeling the urge to connect with people I`ve never hung out with before, but haven`t had the guts to do it yet. How exactly do you go about it? Do you simply just send a lovely dm out of the blue?
It's definitely a bit intimidating before you start but the thing that has been most helpful for me is keeping it super simple and authentic. I always ask myself, "what is the message I would want to receive?" and share it from a place of simply wanting to express appreciation and interest in connecting with that person rather than having something specific I want to get out of the interaction. Hope that helps xx
I`ve just sent a text to someone I`ve been wanting to be friends with for a while. Very scary, but so glad I finally did it...imagining getting the message myself really helped and had me thinking ``how lovely, I`d love to receive those words by someone``. Thanks for your help and inspiration <3
I'm glad you didn't completely give up writing and I hope the many comments you've received is enough to keep you continuing to write. It may not always be the way it's been in years past but it is good that things and you change. Just be open to the change and see where it takes you. XOXO

On one hand, I love being at home and so cozy but I also remind myself that life must keep going! Excited to see you soooooon!
Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to dive into ‘The Process’ too 🫶🏼
