I have been so tender reading this story bc every chapter’s delicate construction & easy sincerity touches my heart w/how genuine & real it feels. I took distance from it, emotionally. Like brushing something too beautiful, a bright light or the shiver of the divine, like, it feels present, real in ways I can’t take in all at once unprepared. i’m so filled with anticipation now. It’s finished? I feel like I need to wash my face or something, get ready for this to push its fingers into my heart.
Hey I’m so sorry I only got a chance to reply now, it’s been a long day at work! But this matters so much to me. I really can’t express how important it feels to have made something that felt that way to you. My favorite things to read feel the way that you describe, so the comparison stuns me. To think I’ve done that for even one person is a real confidence boost while also being super humbling and rewarding, if that makes sense. I really hope you enjoy the ending & I’m so glad it was worth something to you. & thank you for saying so.
