Beautiful words as always.

Expand full comment

When you say that doubt can make your dreams feel too grand, it hits me hard. There are days when I question why someone would willingly read my words when there is so much out there to read. The feeling is pretty dominant lately. But I am trying to be kinder to myself and reminding myself that my words matter. I love that we all are privileged enough to dream. It's a beautiful thing to nurture and hold on to. Thank you, Jamal.

I'm glad this piece met you where you are Mansi.

I want to sit with what you shared a bit.

"What makes our words matter?"

I believe they do and that their worth is unrelated to how others perceive them but I am curious to see what else I uncover.

This one made me think about a gift my friend made me for my birthday one year 🤣 I have to find it and tag you in it!! It's too good not to share.

I must say Jamal, your words have a way of touching my heart so deeply.

This reminded me of the Disney movie Wish. (I really love that movie.) Especially about dreams floating away. I can picture the scene where all the wishes are floating around.

Great work as always!

Aaaahh! That's a great call Sam! I didn't even think about the connection.

Now I'm sitting with how sad it was that people gave their dreams up willingly 😭

Haha I am so sorry for making you remember that sad part. That part really is heartbreaking though.
