Well said. I have no objection at all to anyone making money from their writing, but I agree that there is also imense value in both the writing and the sharing. Thank you for the reminder to not take this freedom for granted x

Thank you for sharing your words and this story Marie. I don’t think speaking about the many ways we can measure success, can be done enough ♥️

incredible and important perspective. This place is magical. I find it inspiring and hopeful, real and raw. I certainly hope we can give back in exchange in the multitude of ways. financially, encouragement, restacks and comments for the algorithm. I think its just incredible to find a community that values long form and connection. Big hug from Peru. Loved hearing a bit about your backstory.
