Let the timeline be late, let the coffee spill - is exactly what I needed to hear today. Simplest reminders are the best ❤️‍🩹

Let it all be a little late, a little messy, it doesn’t mean you’re behind, just human. Thank you for reading, truly. Sending love xx

"You're reading this because something small tipped you over today."

Who went and told B my secret?

It is currently Monday morning and I had already made my to-do list as I am fond of doing but due to a timezone mixup, I missed a meeting. So that just sort of threw me off.

Decided to come read your substack as it has a way of grounding me and making me focus on just the words.

So I'm going to let the coffee spill be just that, a spill. The day isn't ruined yet.

Thanks for sharing xx

Becks, you have no idea how much this means to me. Or maybe you do, because you always seem to get it.

That timezone mixup sounds like the kind of thing that sneaks up and derails more than it should and yet here you are, turning back to words, letting them hold you steady. I’m honoured that mine could do that for you today.

And yes, let the coffee spill be just a spill. Not the end, not the mood-setter. Just a moment. There’s still so much Monday left to reclaim.

Thank you as always xx

return to sender, with love. oh, b. that is absolutely just what i needed to hear right now. as a girl who is so sensitive and tender towards every emotion that briefly passes through me or one that largely linger for days, i tell myself that sometimes reactions are out of my control. but i know that it truly isn't. this is art, thank you so much!

oh, your words mean more to me than you know. I see you, i feel you, and i’m honored that something i shared could touch that beautiful, tender heart of yours. you’re right- emotions feel so wild sometimes, but there’s such strength in how deeply you experience it all. that’s your art too. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your journey. Sending you so much warmth.

Today was a day that really tested my softness (🤗🤗🤗🤗) but you are right - there is such a quiet yet profound power in remaining soft and true to who you are in moments of adversity. Absolutely loved reading this, thanks for sharing! <3

Thank you so much, Raisa. It really means a lot to hear that. Staying soft in tough moments can feel like the hardest thing but also the most powerful. I’m so glad it resonated with you. Sending love your way x
