This was lovely. I really enjoy the idea of knowledge that lies dormant. There are ideas, feelings and concepts that stuck to me in real time but whose underlying profoundness only later came into focus. Later with time and perspective. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and this piece resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!

such a wonderful piece filled with soft wisdom. i adore your descriptions and focus - the calmness in your writing. so much truth in how some things lie dormant in us until we’re ready. <3

So relatable. I especially liked this observation: “One of my core beliefs is we all have a true voice, somewhere deep inside. I just have to be a good channel for mine, to listen curiously and attentively, to direct it well.”

Lovely piece Nicole, as always. I’ve been fascinated with the barrier between knowing and living, our logical brains and our actualized selves. It seems integrating ideas takes time, repetition, patience.

Awesome work :)
