Very relatable and amazing realizations! People can easily get caught up with the hustle culture. I love that you emphasized that you don’t fit in a box and never want to. I can resonate with that. Writing my pieces is a release for me and I always write for myself. If people will read, it’s a bonus.
I’m also not fond of following a trend. What I write about and the traditions I created for the community were created based on good intentions.
And this is the exact reason why I like your pieces so much! We share the same perspective. Bonding with people like you is such a rich experience. For someone that works from home and find it hard to meet new people, this is truly amazing for me. Thank you to be here🤎
i love this piece so much oh my god 🥺💗also the pics are amazinggggg!!!
and i don’t know baee if you’ve read my essay “ten days inside a crystal ball” but that’s exactly how i feel 🌿✨
i love villages. people are happy and living a peaceful life, knowing each other — especially those that are not too small so rumors spread everywhere, but not too big so it’s still easy to make friends 🥺
i love village life so much, especially when it’s close to nature and you can go hiking almost every day 😭
honestly, i’m just so done with city life… everyone feels like they’re just… i don’t even know how to say it
but in a village, it feels like we are really living. we are actually connecting with each other, and the whole vibe becomes like a safety net for everyone 💗
I’m SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL that you took the time to read this! Thank you sooo much! The friends part, I can relate sooo much! When I actually left my very small town which was more like a village, it was suddenly impossible to connect with people and I’m so sad about it!
Also the reason why I love it so much here, on Substack. Feels like I finally can connect with people again! Thank you so much for being part of this, it means the world to me. Really wants to keep going
just keep going, queen — i know it can feel like when you first step into this world, everyone seems so isolated from each other and it’s really hard to make friends 🥀
but once you start forming your own community, it feels like everyone is living happily inside this little village 🌱✨
like somewhere we’ve all been before, somehow
so just keep going, keep creating, keep showing up 💗
your people will definitely find you 🥺✨
and then all of us can grow together while supporting each other 🫂🌿
May I add a question?: What does it actually cost to choose the village when the city is where the volume is?
I keep thinking the same: what if this honesty in our small villages never happens again? What if we forget where we started? On the other hand, the means of support usually live in the city, so we're forced to decide. It's a difficult choice; I give you that and I feel myself torn as well. Thank you for sharing!
That is THE question and I do not have the answer 😭 my take would be to pick the city if we feel the need to, but keep the authenticity, as much as we can 🙏

This article is rich in metaphor and deliciously quotable
Thank you Adelina, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🫶

Love the balanced approach, yet I feel it's harder to implement than it reads. I hope you'll keep us updated on how it goes for you! 🙏
