Stumbled upon your Twitter and now I'm here.

Just opened one letter and I'm already in love. Your writing is so beautiful and serene.

"They differ in what they value."

"Finding the right people is the challenge of a lifetime."

"Beauty in the most distilled sense has the power to crack open belief systems."

"It's hard to find, but it's everywhere. You just have to look."

Will always read your work as long as I can, to be inspired and to learn (both about life and how to write).

“Being free in ways you’re not”. I love this way of thinking!

I’ve set my life up so that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. Like pick up my bags and travel halfway across the world, at a moments notice. Already done that, multiple times!

How many people can say that?? So many are trapped in jobs, expectations, routines that are undesirable. It’s important for all of us to craft the life we want to live.

I found a friend, who is now my situation, simply from mutual work sitches & being a cheerleader, but i live EVERYDAY feeling safe and myself around them, and it's the least expected friendship i ever thought would fill my life w this much joy, but beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder 🥺💙

As I find myself in a period during which many of my social circles are unravelling, this writing came at the perfect time.

Thank you Nicole. Your writings have made me see parts of myself which I was not attending. I will revisit it some more times so that I am reminded about friendship.
