so beautifully written & captures a feeling i’ve been wrestling with as i grow older and think about the kind of person i want to be. far better to have a life rich in love than none at all, even if the price is embarrassment or regret 🫶
reading this after my really good cry about being embarrassed about how much i love that i withhold out of humiliation of being intense i love the internet
this is exactly what I needed to read at this very moment. I turned 25 in October and have been wrestling greatly with this exact feeling. I promised myself 2025 would be the year I lived boldly and unapologetically, and two days in I was already asking if it was worth it. this reminded me that it is. Thank you!

Love the poem and the quote you reference. Your writing supports both brilliantly!
as someone who also turned 25 a few weeks ago, i really do hear this and know your 13 year old self does too <3
what an exceptional opening paragraph! I particularly enjoyed the quote you inserted by Joachim Trier... true word art <3
