Oh, Kristy. I hear you, I see you, and I understand. I see myself in your words so very much. I could have written so many of these lines myself, and after a lifetime of feeling painfully misunderstood, please don’t underestimate the healing properties of putting this work out there and helping people like me feel that spark of hope that comes from feeling understood. People like me need to read what you have to say.
I literally started a post of mine yesterday with something like ‘I have always felt that I was not normal’, and reading the end of your post helped remind me why I am here on substack. There must be more people like me, and you seem to be one of them. Thank you so much.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This is what hope for, connection. This means so much to me and I can’t tell you how much you’ve lifted my spirits by sharing this with me. It took me three hours to write and I felt utterly exhausted afterwards. I am so grateful to you for hearing me. ❤️
And this lifts my spirits in return! I feel your exhaustion. I have to believe it is worth it, doing all this dredging up. Reading your work seemed to have unlocked a piece in my own healing puzzle this morning and inspired a bit of the post I just wrote. It brings to mind a Ram Dass quote, “we’re all just walking each other home”. Thank you for taking my hand with your words.
