I'm still looking for my debut, and in many ways publishing stuff here on Substack are important steps toward that. Like you, I feel that my undiscovered autism played a role there. My social clumsiness first made me shy, and then made me doubt myself. Self-esteem issues to work on there. Getting diagnosed and then having that lens through which to make sense of so much of my life made a huge difference. That was just the first step, of course. Lots of self-discovery to do, a self that buried beneath decades of masking. But it is happening. My therapist suggested the blog, and so I opened this account, but it another seven-eight months before I finally got up the nerve to start posting. Now it's becoming natural. That's a big step for me.
I pre-saved your album. Am listening to some of your other stuff on Spotify. It's really good! You have a wonderful voice. Really looking forward to the album!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me! 🥹✨ I relate so deeply to the slow unearthing of self after years of masking. It’s such a tender and complicated process, but also a powerful one. It’s amazing that you took the step to start posting, even after those months of hesitation. It took me quite a while on this platform too to begin trusting my voice. That kind of self-trust takes time to build, and I love that it’s starting to feel natural for you.
And thank you so much for pre-saving the album and for listening 💫❤️🔥 That truly means a lot. Wishing you so much joy and discovery on this journey. You’re already doing something so brave just by showing up as yourself.
wonderfull !!
Thank you 🥹🌸💝
