I really loved this — one of those amazing feelings where you feel less alone in your longing. Sick of a suitcase, worried about your decisions, longing for your own space… absolutely feel it too 💛 Can’t wait for the moment when you’re welcomed home!

Wow! I’m experiencing the same thing right now and this gave me so much hope❤️❤️I called myself a brat this morning🤣and I’ve been seeing cranes too, and using them as symbols of being on the right path. This was so aligned, thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this❤️

Oh wow, that is beautiful! Did you see my most recent post? I think that will REALLY put things in perspective for you. I documented the entire process to now being home.

yes yes yes. processing feelings through free-flowing words is so cathartic right? i never did it much until the last few years but now i find myself being able to express what i'm going through so much easier if I don't have to think about sentence structure and write more towards how my thoughts are forming. love seeing this journey on you.
