133 little digital hearts on a Note about my 2yr old daughter and her delight in seeing the moon. Shit & Love is a reader-supported publication.

She was a grounding presence if ever there was one.
Oooh not something I would’ve thought to ask myself but it would relate to my ideal client/reader who is essentially me and where I’ve been in the last few years. Also, if I’m writing for me it takes off the pressure to get the most likes etc and I’m doing it from a place where I really enjoy it. So important to me that I enjoy what I do (and not see it like a chore or like I have to). Kinda trusting in that one that this translates to the reader ☺️✨
Yes, that's it, feeling tethered to other people. Connection, belonging, is what we seek i think, so much more than 'success' per se. At least that's what comes up for me when I dig into your question 😊
This is so beautiful and reminds me of when my kids were young. I was also desperate to remain in the moment but also to remember.
Success? To know you have connected, with one, with one hundred, it doesn’t matter really, you were seen. Being seen is very important. I expect the ego likes to be seen lots though. And then, of course, if you connect with lots you get imposter syndrome- can’t win really.
100% this!! ✨💖✨💖✨💖✨✨✨
Trying my best to remember what I write is for me from me and not get caught up in the likes and comments - it’s nice when I remember!
That’s interesting. Where does the reader sit within this “for me from me” framework. ☺️

Yes, I relate to this Amber. Trying to have fun with it, letting that lead the way, enjoying the journey, rather than numbers being the main thing 😊
It’s taking me a lot of practice but I feel sure it’ll take me further in the long run🙂

Thank you Tamsin! 💕 ☺️
That sounds right to me. The ego lives in the realm of hungry ghosts...no number is ever enough!
But just one connect when we’re fully present...fully alive to all that it signifies...is enough for the spirit. 🕯️
