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!

Teary-eyed, that's all I can say. Teary-eyed because it hit close to home. This was beautifully written. I'm so happy for you and I'm going to use this as inspiration to keep going. Thank you Jacquie.

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.
