Heart busting open🫀from your authentic AF story pixels on my tiny screen. Good thing my magic wand 🪄 is in the shop or I’d try to wave it all over your adorable Monkeys of Anxious “Truth”

Dude. I want you to know you’re not alone — we all get that crazy “who-the-F-am-I?” feeling. Grab your tote bag at the entrance and enjoy the show! You got this.

Straight to the heart, love every bit of this 🔥 gosh I have a whopper case of this anxiety too and your light on the dark tangle makes it a bit more ‘hey let’s skip the mental loop, have the convo and hit the farm already.’ That mirror note is the best.

🫶 Alex. Sorry your brain does this to you, but hope writing such raw, honest truth helps alleviate it somewhat. I bet you could write some of your essays into the most raw free verse poetry

I get anxious sending invoices to clients I’ve worked with FOR YEARS, thinking like somehow uh oh, this is it! This will be time they get my invoice and they’re like NOPE, GET LOST. Brains are dumb.

Absolute genius level authenticity and humor. I was happy enough to share upon reading 10%. I'm just shaking my head here; thinking about how good this, Sublime, and humanity can be together.

Uhh. It just dawned on me, I could have just said this was sublime. That's it, that's the word I was looking for!
