Thank you for your thoughts!

#19 is in my head, too!

Life is Good though, right?!

And we will all get there - identifying what we want possibly a great step!

And everything you are talking about here is the book that I want in my hands. DO IT!

Numbers 2 & 5 really go hand in hand for me, and while I get how it’s a nice creative way to share, an very likely some slick PR writing, I too have struggled with a very cluttered messy studio/creative space, often spilling out into my home and I’m always wondering why I can’t be ‘Better Homes & Gardens’ scrupulously clean and organized in my home 😞🤦🏻‍♀️😖 Most days looking at those lovely IG accounts is inspiring for barely one minute before I hit that reality of my actual cluttered life 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I feel less alone about my messy home and studio space 🙏🏼

Funny, I was just in my head last evening, going over the same “I want to back [...] and be in that young body but with my now self awareness”... the things I would have done to fit in and feel accepted/loved/desired... the choices I would have made more effort to follow... and at the same time... is not like I can change because lots of now wouldn’t then be...

N O W...

Gosh I loved reading this Susannah. I found myself nodding, laughing a little (also inside my head) and saying yes, yes to wanting to be 20 something again, but with the self awareness and love and gratitude that I have for myself now.... oh to have that body back lols

It’s brave and beautiful to share the chaos in your head. Thank you.

Beautiful stream of thought that is absolutely relatable.

I didn't go to art school in my twenties so I just went back for a Masters at an art school now at age 43 :P

#19. Every line of it. 💜

And I want you to write a book too, AND pay your rent. Maybe a Patreon or Kickstarter to make it possible.

YES 💯 and this one especially: i want to go back to art college in 1995 and be in that 22 year-old body but with my 50-year-old self awareness.

Susannah Conway's avatar

yesssss, that is a biggie. I'd love to do it again (but then - i don't want to go to college now 😆)

Susan Earlam's avatar

Ha, yep!

It's so comforting to feel like the chaos that is my mind is normal. I could have written any of the items in that list, except perhaps the book. Thank you!!

Susannah Conway's avatar

I'm always here for some comforting chaos 😘

I’ve said LOL in my head quite a few times, tbh!

Exactly what I have going on in my brain -without the writing a book part. It was the perfect email to read this morning! <3

Always a relief to know it's not just me! 💗
