You make a great point Caroline. I have had loyal readers question if I’m doing okay for this very reason. In sharing my stories and feelings in a self-deprecating manner it seems to indicate I’m broken which I am not. Like you I have developed deep, and effective, tools of self-awareness.
I don’t see any way around this because I won’t change how I write but it has heightened my awareness of how it’s perceived.
“A breadcrumb trail I leave behind so people like me know they’re not walking alone”…I am picking up what you’re putting down. I appreciate the navigational assistance.
I’ve been writing about “losing it” lately, a lovely friend commented that we’re all finding so much while losing it of late. I like that reframing 😎
Belly roll laughing AGAIN and nodding my head in vigorous agreement! What an incredible follow-up. I want to quote the whole thing. Superb! Bravissssisisisisisiisismo!!! Truly ELITE. I'm going to be re-reading this many times because it plasters a shit eating grin across my mug and I love that for me.
wow, but what's left? Great insight, rhythm, and everything else that's good. You're VERY talented, but I can't imagine what's next. 😁
Thanks, Rob!! I also can’t imagine what’s coming next 🤣
Beautiful as always! Stay Elite! ❤️
You too 😊💗
I feel like something would be deeply missing from my Saturday's if I didn't have Caroline in my life. :) Great post, I felt this.
Massive compliment! Thank you, Mike! Grateful for the support!

Great essay, thanks.
Thanks Donna! I have no plans to change either. I guess people will just assume I’m unraveling 🤣
This whole thing. This whole entire thing.
Thank you 😊 💗

Brilliant work as always, C. ♥️🔥
I love that! I feel like some people think I’m literally not okay…maybe I’m not. But I feel pretty good 🫠
The literals are hard to handle...I get a lot of "are you serious?" whilst being my weird self. You seem more than good to me :)
Savoring this one! Such wit and wisdom. 🩷
Thank you, Lily 💗
Yes love this. Thanks for sharing as always

and that’s the truth! there is love in self recognition, doesn’t always have to be a negative thing
ABSOLUTELY 💗💗💗
Hard relate.
