Eryn, this is beautiful and a beacon of hope. Reminding me that I am supported and I am not alone, ever. Thank you! "Dying Continually as Spiritual Practice" rings so true to where I am at the moment. Letting the things people told me about myself fall away, and discovering the beautiful being that has been too scared to be seen. All the queer love, my dear.

Eryn, this is so beautiful, as always. I was just saying this morning that I grew up thinking so many paradoxical things about change: first, that change was a bad thing -- that the comment "wow, you've changed so much" was always said with disdain. second, that people actually "couldn't really change" - that we shouldn't expect people to change. it made me feel so afraid of transformation. but lately, I have embraced the act of shedding my skin. "Dying Continually as Spiritual Practice" - this is a powerful mantra.

Thank you, Hannah! That definitely resonates - change as bad was a big theme in my family too, with an expectation that we should be staying the same forever. Love love that you have been embracing the act of shedding your skin <3
