So beautiful and such a fascinating topic. I found myself becoming more me when I created my book instagram and substack because I authentically started sharing my love of books and words with the world when I never have before. I guess it’s a bit of a juxtaposition that it happened on social platforms!
Butter is SO good! I had the rice butter and soy sauce straight after reading the way she describes it haha. Thank you for your soothing words on growing up ☁️
I think growing up is really about understanding who you are and being yourself! Now that I crossed the 35 year old line I can feel that I am more aware of my authentic self and feel more confident to be myself in public especially with clothes. And that feeling is priceless.
we need more women who are unafraid to be exactly who tf they are !!
That’s the beautiful thing about growing older too. Society has such an infatuation with people and girls in their 20s and it keeps us so insecure about aging , but the women i know who are in their 30s and comfortable with themselves - wew, that’s //power// hahaha
what an eye opener! this kind of made me reflect on my self identify and not get my identity from social media. even though it’s kinda hard not to — with all these sub-genres of aesthetics and personalities.
I loved this so much. It's so important for me personally that I show up as my most authentic and genuine self, whether that makes someone comfortable or uncomfortable, all that matters at the end of the day is that I'm comfortable. Thank you for sharing this you have such a beautiful voice, keep sharing it with the rest of us. (Also I am a die hard fellow banana bread fan)
also UGH I just finished and thank you for everything, firstly how was Butter??? I've been meaning to pick it up!
Second, I do feel like Im myself, I look like myself, it's taken about 5 years now but I feel SO comfortable in who I am, and this post echoed the journey and feelings I had on the way - thank you
I've always dream of having something that people would look at and think I'm my goods this is such a Rita thing, to the point I would stop being myself so people would notice. until one day I heard a friend telling "I used to hate hearing the word "dudeeee", but the way you say it, it's just so you that I just live it". and maybe I just started to pay more attention or maybe she just unlocked something in the universe because everyone around me started to tell me stuff like this. for me it's so crazy that people already see in me being something i want to be, so now and then find this things that make me it's so awesome.
lovee your writing it matches you vibe really well :)))
