Hello! Valerie here.
I meant to release this collection of poems read by me as a paid subscriber feature. I knew it would get emotional and ‘too real.’ But the truth is, we all need that right now. Maybe not from me specifically, maybe we need it from ourselves more than anyone, but sometimes a catalyst is helpful.
This is part of my story, my recent story, and it’s a tender, painful, wistful, yet hopeful one.
If you listen at all, or if you’re a saint and listen to the end, would you give me some feedback? I don’t mind being vulnerable here, I’m pretty wide open atm. It feels good. I feel proud of what I’ve put forward. I wasn’t sure what it would be like. But I’m glad I did it, and I’m open to feedback as I mentioned.
Thank you for being here; not just on my page, but in a world that is simultaneously dying and awakening. Yes, we need you so badly. From my heart to yours
.
My love,
Valerie Love Smith
