ur writings always find me in a tender state.. feeling like letters sent from a wise and gentle older sister living somewhere faraway, making a life for herself...
Ah, wow, Saher, that makes me so soft. That’s exactly what I would like to achieve with these letters…. <3 Sending you so much love. You made my morning :”)
My five year plan is drenching myself in music, photography, cafes, intimate gatherings, and authentic love. Your writing makes my heart smile. Thank You!
"My dream is to see the people I love and run towards them in the airport." there is so much beauty in finding yourself within the lines. i feel so seen by your writing, so comforted. thank you so much for writing this, and for sharing it with us. <3
I know this is so not the point of your beautiful piece, which I found very moving and lovely……..but I switched to the breeze litter system and while some pellets fall out now and then it is much cleaner and doesn’t dirty the room around it for the most part. a friend recommended it to me years ago when I first got my cat and I wish I’d listened!
Goodness this brought tears in my eyes and made my heart full, you are an exceptional writer and truthfully I resonate with all that you said my 5 year plan is to love.
Thank you so much for reading, and leaving this comment. Sending you so much love, and hoping that's all you see in this life: the little miracles, and the big ones too.
This is so beautiful Amal. I simply have no words. I felt everything, my eyes welling up, my cheeks blushing rose, you filled a mere five minutes with a vivid dream- something I’m finding very hard to do at the moment. I hope to chance upon your pieces more often and steal a slice of life from them. Thank you, for your words!
Sim, your comment means the world to me. I am regularly so grateful that people resonate, and that I am not alone with my feelings. I wish you the best. Thank you for reading!
Amal!!!! This is beyond beautiful. I couldn’t resonate more strongly. I alternated between goosebumps and tears welling in my eyes as I read this. I was so moved. It reminds me a of some parts of Deborah Levy’s book Real Estate where she daydreams of the home she wishes to build for herself
The pressure to have it all figured out while your still young is so real, as is the societal focus on linear, upwards career growth rather than personal growth such as finding love, or regenerative work, such as taking care of your body or making (burning) dinner.
Agreed! It’s incredibly inaccurate, as all I’ve seen of life is it is and up and down process that slowly - incredibly slowly - moves upwards overall. Thank you for reading, Audrey!
Such a tender essay that tugged on my heartstring. I’m turning 21 next month and I still feel so young, but why are people asking me these huge questions when I’m only getting to know myself now? All I want is to be better and love better.
Thank you so much for reading. I agree, I think we’re still pretty young to have all the answers, and we live in a society that pushes us to always know everything. Got to step back and take it one day at a time
