Kinda speechless. I think you're my emotional doppelganger. Thanks for sharing your journey!

We often think we’re alone in this stuff, but we rarely are. I see you 😉

Oh Evie, I’m in a season of behind-the-scenes hard emotionally (hence the fall off the communication planet) but you have no idea how much your words have been helping each week 🧡 thank you…and also started watching TOO MUCH tonight, before reading this, and it’s a quite literally like watching a bloody biopic, wild…5 eps in so let’s see if the story unfolds similarly 😟

Know your light is anything but dimmed in this space, my love xx

Sending you so much love ❤️ I feel like behind-the-scenes is the only way we can emotionally crumble when we have so many balls to keep in the air. It’s hard, my love! But feeling seen is one of the greatest antidotes, I reckon x

Evie, this piece is so good. I found it really encouraging and witty and so many things were making me want to shout out, "Yes! Exactly!" This really made me feel less alone in my now searching and asking to fit in (so embarrassing), and my too-much and not-enoughness. I will check out "Too Much", too. Love Lena Dunham.

Oh I’m so pleased Gayle! I share as unfiltered as I do in the hope that it helps others feel seen and less alone in their experiences. We’re not embarrassing, we’re just very human xx

I appreciate and see you Evie 🫶❤️ I hope you feel that you are enough just as you are or whoever you want to be. I feel so inspired by your courage in honoring your own truth. You’ve inspired me to keep showing up, sharing my own vulnerable experiences. I probably would have given into my fears if not for your unwavering support 🙏🥰

I am on vacation in Cabo San Lucas and I have cried every day I have been here. I can’t get her off of my mind and she is already moved in

Oh John. Try to find a micro moment of joy, just a teeny one, just for a second. Your heartbreak will still be there, you can feel all of it for as long as you need, but give yourself a sliver of relief if you can. It gets easier x

Vibes from someone who is also too much yet never enough and never seems to quite fit in anywhere 😅

And I can never work out if that means there’s a whole bunch of us that fit in together but we’re just dispersed among the others!

Someday I'm gonna develop a power to summon you all to my side and when there's enough of us, I think we should either take over an island or small town and start a new world order based on community and kindness 😏

Thank you Evie, for this beautiful post. Feeling much the same and your words arrived perfectly and at just the right moment. I refuse to be less than I am just to appease someone else's inability to accept all that I am.

Absolutely, John. It’s not always the easiest path but staying true to ourselves is always the right one x
