i appreciate your vulnerability about desiring a great romantic love at 23. at 18, i wanted the same thing. at 21, even more. now almost 30, that feeling still exists. whenever your romantic love appears, i hope it’s deep enough to drown you but gentle enough to allow you to float, warm enough to raise your body temperature without you being ill, sweet enough that butterflies and bees and hummingbirds mistake it for nectar, and lasts long enough for your handwriting to outpace your typing
i've read this comment three times already and i cannot adequately express my gratitude for your kind and beautiful words. it was quite daunting posting this, but your comment is making me smile so big!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!!! we bot have our great romantic loves coming!!!!!
I resonated with this in such a way that I almost thought I was reading some of my own journal entries. I teared up several times taking this all in and now I’m just laying here staring at the ceiling. From one 23 year old yearner to another, thank you🫂
hi!!!! thank you first of all for taking the time to read and sit with this post, i am so so happy that this resonated with you. us yearners are in it together, there's something out there for us <3
Over the course of last year, I've come to the realisation that I've spent years and years hiding my emotions and vulnerabilities under layers of blankets because I thought it was embarrassing to "feel" things. Reading this (and so many other articles like this) helps me recognise the bravery and strength that it takes to lay yourself bare.
I want to be as honest as you are one day. Unashamed of wanting things and not scared to express wanting.
I hope love finds you in the most beautiful and unexpected way, dear writer. You have a wonderful soul and your person would be intensely blessed to have you.
I read this comment about two hours ago and have been sitting with it (and admittedly screenshotted it haha) and im so grateful you took the time not only to read my work but to leave me this comment, as well. I’m not sure if you think about it like this but the fact of you leaving the comment and revealing your vulnerability IS honesty!!! We’re doing it!! Thank you thank you for the kind words, please always cherish what you desire and have the most beautiful day ever 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂👼👼👼
Yes I loved it!! And your Substack really resonated with me 😭 I love your style of writing and the added quotes made the read even more relatable, thank you ❤️
My Jasmine….you are so brilliant and it makes my heart literally burst to see you affirming yourself so wholly AND having the vulnerability to share with us… you are a star
