Today I am trying desperately to catch up from reading almost nothing on Medium in October. At least I wrote one thing but only one.
Then I saw you in my feed and seriously, I broke out in an extra smile. I was on a roll replying but I stopped. What is F.S. writing about today?
You know I am one of your biggest fans. I am so impressed with your talent. I love your fiction but also everything else you write.
Today I feel the pain from your words as you struggle to figure out your next move...where to go.
The part I highlighted above, there is no escape, no matter where you go. I feel the sadness for us all in that one. Yet I think you can find a place where you can shut it out as much as possible, live simply and do what you want. You need a good dose of feeling your heart sing.
I left a huge career two years ago and paid a large price to do so (like a 5XL large size price that few actually know the details...my choice). Before I would have cared about what I lost, not now.
I moved to a brand new place and live very differently than before. I am reinventing myself in a brand new workspace, totaly different from the previous one.I am completely happy, finally, even though our capitalist world is so fucked up.
I wish this good energy and peace and more for you, Felicia. I think it is waiting for you.
I would happily do anything I could do to help.
