This is beautiful! "I can’t write because I’m living" really resonated with me. I often can write out everything clearly in my journal, but then I'm actually just stuck in my own head. I journal less when I remember to actually live, and your post encompasses that feeling so well for me. I want to actually live more often, and this post is inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing where you're at. Your paintings and poems are also so beautiful.
Also, I'm so sorry for the loss of your cat. Losing a pet is so hard ❤️🩹 Sending lots of love!
Thank you, Elizabeth 💛 so often I feel “behind” on writing, but I’d rather be behind on writing than living! It’s a balance for sure to tend to the words swirling in our heads and not stay stuck in our heads.
This was wonderful and so encouraging to read! I love reading about you leaning into the waiting and quiet. Surely, it is in living that more words will be found again- and truly your plunge, paint, ponder practice already shows that!
I love the "trust the process" of it all! So many things pull us away from the page, but I think they are really filling us for the page for later, even our insecurities. Beautiful words! Love this prompt!
Beautiful. And I’m so grateful that you keep showing up where you are. 💛
Thank you, Lisa!

“I am trusting I am still Aly, a person who writes
And first, a person who lives.”
Love so much of this post! And also relating a lot to my lack of writing often just being more present instead of processing.
Yes, Leslie! You have such a full life of caring and being present. There will be a time for the output/processing.

Thank you, Kristina! The quiet doesn’t always feel good to me, but I’m no longer rushing past it.

Ashley, I love the idea of even our insecurities fueling our words later. Thanks for reading!
Oh I love this!
Thank you, Amelia!
This made me tear up. Beautiful. 🥹💗
