Totally agree with being a private minded person. Yes, we share our thoughts here but a lot of the times it’s easier to keep things to ourselves, that’s why I won’t let my family subscribing to my blog (they probably couldn’t bother😂😂). But this blog is my private space and my way of coping whatever is going on in my mind and life. Sometimes it’s also nice to be anonymous in a way where I’m sharing my inner thoughts to the internet, and yet people will have no idea I wrote these as I walk on the streets. Keeping things private and in your mind sometimes set you free. Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday Michelle! I hope you had the loveliest day <3
Your birthday posts always feel a little special to me. It was your reflections at 33 that brought me to Substack. I had been standing on the sidelines for a long time, just observing and hesitating, and then something in your article made me want to give it a go. And every year, your birthday post makes me smile.
I feel more like myself these days and more connected to who I am, yet I still have doubts from time to time. Reading your thoughts reassures me and somehow validates where I am, even though I am two years older than you. So thank you, truly, for sharing pieces of yourself with us and for creating a space that feels like a gentle conversation with a friend ☺️
It's so lovely to hear these posts are how you came to Substack. I can't even fully remember what drove me to write that piece, but I'm glad it brought us together online. And, yes, I'm glad that as I get older I'm more reassured by myself. Tuning out the noise helps a lot; I spend so much time just with myself and it's for the better.
