Hi Lidiya! This is another beautifully written essay and speaks so dearly to me. I imagine myself on your escapades and my heart is so warmed and filled with memories of my own adventures. I am always waiting for the next essay to escape the daily life and what to pick up from the library next. Bandit Queens was an amazing read as suggested in the last essay and I truly loved it. Thank you for the softness and self kindness that is presented here.
It’s so nice to hear from you, Taha! Thank you for reading, and I’m so glad the essay found you. Love that you liked Bandit Queens! It’s definitely one of my favorite books of the year.
OMG THIS: "I am learning how to detangle my worth from how good I can be at something." Must continue along this learned path myself. It's a tough one! Thank you, as always, for sharing your beautiful words, and the ways you think about and move through the world. And—wow!—for sharing my letter. Am truly honored. x
It’s such a thrilling and scary experience to be new to things at this age, but I have loved the small exercises and hope to continue. And, thank YOU for sharing your words just when they were needed, and for so much more ❤️
I can’t believe how much I love reading everything you write I get so excited when I see your name for the newsletter in my email. I reread each paragraph of your essays in hopes to prolong the ending. What a gift!
