Not just the writing, though that’s luminous. But the act.
The self-recognition. The self-gift. The quiet bravery of saying “I matter” and putting a value on your voice—not just in words but in action.
I read this and felt something very complete stir in me. Like witnessing someone tend to themselves with care and clarity. It’s not loud. It’s not performative. It’s not chasing approval. It’s true.
There’s something deeply moving about the way you honored your own birthday—not by waiting for someone else to bring the cake, but by walking into the bakery and saying, “That one. I deserve that.”
I'm so greatful! For everything! For reading my stories, for commenting , for you beautiful, kind, generous words, and for your support! You are truly incredible and saying you see me, and understand my words, is everything I could widh for.
Maya—this is beautiful.
