Your talent is like a physical thing. The words you pull out and put together and craft into meaning and then SHARE with us is such a gift!! Just really grateful that you exist.

Oh wow you have just articulated this “exquisite frustration” I’ve been trying to nurse for quite sometime. Choosing to see it as a thing of hope rather than hopelessness. Thank you for your words.

Thank you so much for this incredible piece! After many moments of late wondering whether I was really quite pathetic for daring to dream that I WILL meet someone who actually is emotionally available and cares about my life as well as being hot AF, this is just what I needed.

Bolu🥲 these will never not be my favourite things - your words make me feel all my feels (coincidentally so does Jonathon Bailey *loses train of thought*…) these are my most valuable lessons and I treasure your words with my whole heart x

Wow Bolu! I have been sitting with this for a while and you literally articulated my thoughts. Chef's kiss.

Thank you Bolu. I knew I was right to save this to savour over my work lunch break instead of a hasty read ❤️. Been feeling/thinking about loneliness and yearning and, up until reading your words, how to snap out of it. Your invitation to step into and examine it, so beautifully expressed, makes me cry but also gives me a new, hopeful perspective. Thank you really.
