Lindsey I was moved from the first line to the last, living your tenderness and feeling my own. This line..."I do my favorite dancing with you in the kitchen, anyway," he said., speaks so loudly to what it's all about in the end. Thank you!

Oh god Lindsey, this was so tender and hurt in such a good way. I have felt this so much, the shifting, refocusing. It’s so hard, but it’s what life seems to be about.

'My favourite dancing is in the kitchen with you anyway.' - my god, your boy is a good one, isn't he? This was so beautiful and I relate to so much of it. The fact it exists is proof that you're an artist right down to the twanging threads of your heart.

Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and bringing us with you. Such a beautiful example of living into the questions of our lives. I find that all the juicy growth and transformation happens in that space of not-knowing. The scenes of your life are unfolding as they should - all in divine order.

I love this, Lindsey. The sentiments sink deep into my psyche, flesh, and bones as I, too, move through long period of unexpected transitions. You're fortunate to have such talent in expressing yourself--not many are adept enough to both act well and write well, not to mention being the chosen partner of a passionate young dancer. :)

Beautiful revelations...at every stage, every foray I've always wondered the same...but are they ever truly left behind 🤔🩷
