Wow! Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one experiencing all these things, but I'm not as unique as I think and that's comforting in an ffed up way. I send you love and peace 💌💌✨✨

It’s so interesting, isn’t it? It’s like they say, “there’s nothing new under the sun.” I really think that more people can relate to many of our experiences than we might imagine. What’s so wonderful is when someone puts it into words that we feel less alone in being human and vulnerable.

This was an act of courage to put out there, Liana. Just subbed. It’s one of the most honest, raw, and emotional pieces I’ve seen, and you did a great job writing it. Massive props 👏

I felt a heaviness weighing on my chest as I thought of what I was going to reply because I knew once I spoke my truth, my eldest sister (Golden) and I’s relationship would never be the same again. I felt overwhelming grief, and I’m already mourning at the funeral of our sisterhood.

This made me bawl. Heavy, fat, salty tears. I understand what you’re going through completely.

Liana, this was so open, raw and honest. Just unbelievably brave of you to share! Thank you for this!

I frequently wonder what my little sister will think of me when she gets older. This was eye opening, so thank you.

Honestly, I wasn't sure about this one because it was too vulnerable but thank you so much for reading and for your support. 🩷
