Today, I’m so happy to share Kaye’s story.
(If you have no idea what this is about, see my previous post, “Letters to My Spoonie Self”)
Kaye’s letter really made me stop and wonder.
Obviously that wonder splintered into a billion different thoughts and reflections, but the overarching effect of that rainbow was:
Someone else’s experience can be hugely *objectively* different from our own, and yet in their sharing - and their pinning-it-to-language - their experience almost always allows us to see our own in glittering (or glaring) new lights, and to put that into words for ourselves where we previously couldn’t have.
That’s such a gift. And one place where social media actually does shine, because it allows us to share those experiences with each other!
You can check out Kaye’s story over on my Substack, where I’m building up a community repository (emporium? Library?) of Letters to My Spoonie Self to support, nourish and re-empower each of us.
