This is so beautifully said, Hannah, and resonates so much. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your story, your writing, your wisdom and your heart with the world!
Thank you Hannah! I needed to hear this today: "the best stories are about staying with the tricky stuff, not simply escaping." I've been reading a lot of bemoaning on Substack about all the personal essays written by white women here (anyone else reading those?). And, I get it, we always need more voices and stories and representation. This is another imperfect community that still does a lot of good. But, this post made me feel so understood, like I'm not alone, and so inspired, like staying with the tricky topics is important. So, thank you for writing this! I love and appreciate personal essays - nothing fills my cup more than writing like this!
Thank you so much, Kelsey! This means a lot to me. I am another white woman for sure but/and I need writing and reading to connect and figure things out and live. Sending ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your recovery with us. You are brave, strong, and putting us all at ease with your words.
That’s how we do it! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
