Ugggh there is so much goodness in this piece. We all had to live the same childhood, just in different versions. This reminded me so much of summer days spent at my grandparents’ house! The dormant car parked in the driveway, yes! This is a piece that feels like home. And thank you for sharing my piece, so glad it felt like a place to lay your weight down 🤎
Thank you, Mariah! This comment has me smiling from ear to ear. Yes! I agree that we all had to live the same childhood in different versions. I am so happy this piece felt like home because home has been my online and offline focus for several months now and Hood Therapy was cultivated from a place of feeling at home here on this platform. And your piece…when I read it sent me through a way of emotions that validated how I’d been feeling. So thank you for sharing that beautiful piece!
Love that so much!!! My inspiration walls would change our every season or new trend era, even just because I got new magazine mail! Thanks so much for commenting Sarah!
Phew the way you meshed these worlds of memory and current explorations together was truly masterful. I certainly entered a portal to the past and was left pondering about these numerous connections. And please note as soon as you mentioned the ice cream truck I envisioned my childhood street- I was definitely running to the SpongeBob Popsicle too! ✨
Ah, Kanika! Thank you so much for this comment! I really appreciate you pointing out the meshing of the two worlds because that is my intention in these newsletters! To say you entered a portal...chef's kiss! You definitely are the reader I was manifesting to connect with this piece! And it's funny you mentioned the SpongeBob Popsicle because originally I didn't have it included and my wife mentioned she never ate the Strawberry Shortcake so I knew I needed to make it a little more relatable...and this confirms that I nailed it! Thank you so much for this comment you just made my day and I'm excited to get started on Vol. 3 for Friday now!
Even today in Locked In the word home was a theme. All week it’s been coming up in different forms other than a physical home. Your post reminded me I came to Substack to find people that felt like home. It’s no coincidence you and I are here in community together.
Omg you just brought back memories with the Young and the Restless. 😬 I remember the disappointment around that time everyday when cartoons had to end for the next hour that felt like years lol. 😂

Choco Taco, allllll day!
I love this piece! Got straight up nostalgic at the mention of how the original pinterest was magazine tear sheets on our bedroom walls. Hell yeah.

This is such a good post! Thank you for including me, Sis. I'm so proud of you.
Thank you, sis! I am proud of you too! We both did some ‘big girl’ things this week!
I’m so here for this series.
Thank you so much I’m enjoying the process of curating it.
Grateful to find a home in your work. Thank you for making time for my words and sharing them with others 🙏🏽

Love this so much. You got me thinking bout those grandma days. Suddenly it smells like the Young And The Restless round here
