CURIOSITY VS DEPTH

Honour the roots, in harmony with exploring the newness (+ childhood pics)

“I don’t believe we have to go back and Live AS our roots, or AS our ancestors, or AS our childhood in order to experience depth, 

But I do believe if we cut them off and try to replant in a new life, no matter how beautiful, there will always be a part of ourselves starved of sustenance. 

If we try to leave it all behind and write an entirely new story, we deprive ourselves of the honest gift of who we are. “

Hey beautiful people,

I’m wanting to write more for those who are paying for a subscription as I really want to honour that support and have you know how much I appreciate it.

I get torn because I also want all my writing accessible for everyone haha!

Anyway, after I post this I’m going to head into my subscriptions and lower the price a bit to maybe make it easier for any of you who have been on the fence or trying to clean up your subscriptions to feel like you can have a place here too. I will absolutely still write for my free subs, but focusing most of my publications towards those who have chosen to support me in that way.

Thank you for those of you who are here and investing in me in this way. Right now it’s my only access point for people (outside of instagram which isn’t overly active right now, and also just cannot have the capability to hold in depth conversations there).

If you are in the habit of reading substacks via email I totally encourage you to open on your laptop or the Substack app. It’s such a nicer experience and means you can sit down and really be with the writing, also via the app it’s easy to find other writers you love and it’s kinda like opening a little library each day.

Right now, in this tiny little snapshot of my life, 

We live in a big and beautiful freshly renovated house in the Sunshine Coast forrest. We are close to the beach, we live a pretty relaxed lifestyle. 

Noosa itself is absolutely of the overall demographic of “upper class’ when you look at it through a socioeconomic lens. There isn’t a huge amount of diversity, though it does pull in a lot of tourism with it’s stunning beaches. 

As you branch out into the country things to begin to morph a little. 

It’s interesting to me because zooming in on this pinpoint of my life, I can enjoy it. I can appreciate the beauty, and I can live a life I find joy in. 

Though as I zoom out I can recognise this pinpoint is such a small blip in the entirety of my story. It weaves into the whole, and possibly brings a glimmer of it’s own flavour to who I am, but this point of my life is also vastly different to the rest of my life. 

I often find myself conflicted with the newness of everything.
