Ah Rhiana! This is so beautiful, I’m excited to start working through these prompts. Thank you for sharing 🤍

This line hit me, so short and simple but its impact is profound. I feel the same, thanks to journaling.

“i am my own.”

magic. ✨

What if most of your initial reactions are, I don't know? What if you think about it and still get I really don't fucking know?

You'll have problems at the beginning cause you've been detached from yourself and were distracted a lot . I did struggle at first too , but it became better after a while , try reading some examples this might give you ideas about what to write, maybe you don't know how to explain what you're feeling but you read a post that you feel "Wow, that's exactly how I feel" . Don't be hard on yourself

awesome. Journaling also saved my life. I could easily see what was ridiculous and what I was wasting energy on. Then, ultimately, I was able to drop unneeded thoughts. And then I discovered that fundamentally there is no "I", the "I" dosnt even exist ;).

Dear Rhiana, I’ve actually wrote a piece in answering your prompts in my latest Substack-Newsletter here: https://open.substack.com/pub/sarahmarialillig/p/responding-to-rhiana-maris-journal?r=1frkta&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false.

It feels really vulnerable, but at the same time, so healing. Thank you thank you thank you. 🫶
