To the ones who don’t walk the main roads —
To the quiet ones, the watchers,
the fire-carriers, the feelers,
Those words cut so deep. That’s me. Always on the outside looking in. Love it! 🌸
Brenda — you felt exactly what I meant.
The ones on the outside, carrying fire quietly, feeling the world deeper than it knows.
You’re not alone.
And the flame you carry? That’s holy. 🔥🌸
Glad you're walking with us.
Thank you! That means so much. 🌸

Welcome, Amanda
Glad to have your thread in the weave — make yourself at home.
There’s tea on the stove and soul stories by the fire. 🔥📖
Beautiful post!

Thank you Nathan.
This is beautiful!! I feel you perceive the world so deeply. To read your words is soothing and speaks to my soul ❤️
That means more than you know.
I think some of us were born with the volume turned up — feeling everything a little too much, seeing what others miss.
But when someone like you gets it… it makes the ache worth it.
Thank you for meeting me here — soul to soul. ❤️
We’re not alone after all.
Your every sentence is so poetic, even when just responding to reply. I am looking forward to more of your writing!
Yes, we are not alone. It is good to remind ourselves ❤️
Beautiful
Thank you, I am sorry for the late reply, it somehow got buried between a lot of other comments :(.
No problem at all, other comments are great. Keep the conversations going.
Thank you, Sally-Ann — for being part of the weave. Every thread adds to the warmth. Grateful you’re here.
Hope to see you around the next post — the thread’s only just begun.
Wow, that was beautiful. Those lines are just perfect!

Is it cringe if I say that I see you? haha and I will be definitely be following for more :)
Not cringe at all — it actually means more than you know.
Thank you for seeing me. Truly.
It’s why I write. To remember that even in the ache, there’s still resonance. Still thread.
I’m really glad you’re here
I am glad to be here :) I could spend my days reading Substack essays, stories and poems. You lot are really talented. I love this space ❤️
And I'm glad you’re here too, Gabriela.
It feels rare — and sacred — to gather with others who still listen with their whole hearts.
This space is starting to feel like a field… and every voice, a wildflower.
Thank you for being one of them. <3
