As a child, I loved my invisibility cloak. It kept me safe from the bullies at school and from my teasing big brother. It’s the reason I love curling up and reading a book cover to cover, letting myself fall into another world and stay there for hours.
The reader in me loves invisibility.
The writer in me wants to be seen. But only so much. Not enough to be bullied. But just enough to be acknowledged, affirmed, complimented, valued.
Ah. The life of an introvert.
I love that you call The Creator Retreat your writing family. I also hope that there is no nucleus to orbit around, but rather we all concentrically circle with and through each other.
Oh my gosh sherry! Thank you thank you thank you for this! You made me feel so seen here woman! Being invisible became my second nature at a point...as teri said...the reader in me just wanted to hide in the world's she created...hiding from the real life.
But our soul yearns and craves to be seen doesn't it? To light up the fire that's been sort of dormant for so long!

I love this: maybe… there's a space in between where it feels safe to be okay with both.
You make me feel seen Sherry!
You saying this melts me heart. 🥹💕
