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!!

This such a beautiful simple post. I love that it is a list of 19 thoughts in your head. I just LOVE this... it resonates so deeply. Thank you- its joyful x
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
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...
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 🙏🏼
I know this wilderness well. I don’t think my house has ever been as clean as I want it to be. And all the other stuff, too. Love you, lady!
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
I’ve said LOL in my head quite a few times, tbh!

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.

Great post, today! I may steal your idea :D
#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.
I love your brain - and the way you share it with us. More. Of. This.
Mmmm sounds like in my head in so many ways!
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
It’s brave and beautiful to share the chaos in your head. Thank you.
I have never related to something more!
