Wow, I really liked this one! It was very similar to my feelings about loneliness and my own room and the way I look at art, it really aroused my feelings 🥹🤧 and your blog has influenced me a lot, since I am a comic writer and graphic artist, I am deeply interested in writing and I have this feeling that you write from your heart✨️ and even though I am Iranian understanding English long texts are difficult for me, but I read "The Cost of Being Me" every day since you posted it and it really had a good effect on me and took me out of my comfort zone, thank you so much for your creative writing ⭐️
This is such a beautiful message to receive– thank you, Helya. It's so nice to hear that the post resonated with you, I hope it's reflected in your comic writing and graphic artistry. Would love to read/see some if you ever choose to share it on Substack. Thanks for the kind words, and have a lovely week!
I love this post!! Those truths live in me too... probably because I want to reshape my world and give it more colors.🙂 Solitude seems to me like a sieve that sifts reality - the saturated moments, the encounters, the chaotic nature of the world, its mediocrity, but also the encountered humanity, the beauty, the stories, the images, even the noises of the world - they all are broken down in solitude, and it sifts the necessary from the unnecessary, the meaningful from the meaningless. And so it turns out that the solitude seems to be 'pregnant' - new thoughts, new sensations, a different awareness of things arise in it. And finally, something new is born- an inspiration or a new layer of our essence... but this happens only if "we step into the world to enrich our inner landscape and fill our cups with intention to overflow it."!!
thank you for sharing this Diana! That’s a beautiful point of view to have, that “solitude is like a sieve that sifts reality” — it reminds me of listening to an interview with this famous chef who worked for 40+ years to become one of the best and then retired. He would spend his days fishing and watching the rod in the water he would re-experience his entire life, solitude was organising things again. Glad it resonated with you, hope you are well x
