I'll start with, I'm not a paid subscriber, but I did back How To Thrive As A Writer. It did resonate with me. I'm older now and find myself letting go more often than not because it seems the only thing I have the patience and nerve left to do is let go. Do I still get unnerved nonetheless during the letting go? Of course, but it just seems a survival reaction. Was I always like this, like when I was younger, to have the capacity to let go in the chaos? Couldn't say, don't remember, but probably not.

Than you \m/

I tried to be at least somewhat comprehensive in what I was trying to say. Finding stillness and still know it's going to be o.k.? I still don't know about the aspect of that being readily there once I let go.... And no, I have not read Strength to Strength. Navigating that transition would certainly come with experience. Completely agree

Yay! Thanks :) I think it is hard to find stillness and still know it’s going to be okay, which is something you only get with experience. Have you read From Strength to Strength? It talks about this transition.

This was more in depth than the typical blog posts, but I’m also not a paid subscriber.

I think everyone can get lost in chaos, it’s being able to preserve through that and finding your way. I’ve had moments where I felt like it has broken me, but I have a weird ability to thrive through chaos. It’s finding that strength to get “home,” and sometimes that’s yourself. This post resonated.

Thank you!

Yay! I usually keep the esoteric stuff to paid members since it turns a lot of people off. Once they accept the weirdness then they resonate with it, but most people that come here casually just want strategies for growth.
