I love this. My feelings exactly! Can’t wait to read more.
It IS perfect! What a great way to show that feeling of insecurity and imperfection!
Loved this, brought a smile to my face!
Every single one of us feels this at some point during this month. It is inevitable, it will probably happen again, but it’s all part of the charm of the challenge.
If anyone who writes says they don’t resonate with this, I don’t trust them. Fantastic way to capture the feeling we all know.
Your heartfelt authenticity rings true. Impeccable word choice paired with palpable longing to find community. Welcome! So grateful you are here
yessssss!!!!!!!!!!! to ME, this is perfect!! <3
