I found your account because I wanted to name my Substack “The Golden Locket” and was checking it for availability. I knew we must be similar if we both thought of that but oh my goodness, I wasn’t expecting this 😭 My baby girl just turned one and I have had sooo many of the same thoughts you expressed! Fears of losing my identity, lowering the bar of expectation, watching her nurse and grow and just be! ❤️ I’m so excited for you as you embark on this new journey of motherhood. “Sunflower seed sized fingernails” 🥹✨ Can’t wait to read more!
HI Courtni - I can't tell you how much joy I got reading your comment and knowing there is someone out there having a similar experience as they transition from maidenhood to motherhood -- it's quite the journey we are on! I've been working on my next piece for quite a while and having moments of, "why am I writing this?" -- your comment helped me remember my why. Thank you <3 Excited to be connected and to see what you have in store for us as well!
So beautiful! ✨💕 love the way you articulate your emotions — truly such a joy to read your writing!
Thank you, Dom! Appreciate you taking the time to take em’ in ♥️
