Beautiful! I love how you point out that generosity doesn’t always require money or affluence. Listening, being present, offering protection are three wonderful examples you provide.
Thank you for your thoughtful reading. It’s a deeply personal essay so can’t tell you how much it means. Sorry I’m just seeing this — I’m way more active now than I was when I wrote this piece so looking forward to engaging with you more. Hope you’ve been well!
This was so brilliant and beautiful.I was literally picturing every part of this journey from a pharma seller trying to sell a medicine to a kid just because she was wearing a lab coat 😂 to your mother's generosity and dedication towards her work. I relate with your joint family, I have felt the same way about my younger siblings. I try to offer them a safe space where they could open up because in my childhood I never had someone to whom I speak freely. There was always this silence treatment in my house but now when I have younger cousins I try that they don't have to feel the way I felt and I am happy because whatever troubles them They come to me for a discussion. I don't offer them advice but presence.
Hahahaha — thank you so much! That’s very cool. I’m happy to hear you have solid relations with your cousins and you’ve created a safe space for them that has lasted. Appreciate you reading my post!
This was fantastic! We need more doctors in this world like your mom. Frankly, we need more people in this world like your mom. What a beautiful post about a wonderful person.
Thank you so much! What an incredibly thoughtful note — I so appreciate it. My Mom will be getting a screenshot of this message. This is a very personal essay, you know, so I can’t tell you how much it means to have you read it and share your thoughts with me. Thanks!
I really enjoyed reading this. It was calming and deep. I've read so many memoirs of daughter who's moms were professionals and they completely ignored their children. Your mom sounds like a gem of a human! thanks for sharing such a warm story. I like the ' ways to carry it' too.
What a wonderful note! Thank you so so much for reading and sharing that with me. This is a very personal one, as you know, so I can’t express how much it means to see someone engage with it — someone who has read similar things and can talk to me about it. My Mom is truly a blessing and thank you for reminding me of that. Thank you so much! Happy New Year and looking forward to staying in touch.
Kindness is multiples times confused with that naivety society enjoys to buffoon with. But I have an idea that, what kindness brings is a sometimes painful reminder that people actually care and are not waiting for something in return. Taking in consideration how we all are drifting to that competitive consuming nonsense, the biggest revolution is, like you said, to be as kind as possible. Your mom was into something ♡
Thank you so much for reading! I’m just seeing this now — I was a bit inactive back then but not anymore. This really moved me! Especially the idea that kindness can feel painful because it reminds us that care doesn’t have to be transactional. And yes, my mom was definitely onto something. Thank you again, hope all’s well, happy new year, and looking forward to staying in touch!
Thank you so much for such a kind word! Means more than I can say. Sorry I’m just seeing this — I was a bit inactive but then but not anymore. Hope all’s well — happy new year — and looking forward to staying in touch.
You are a fantastic writer. I really enjoyed the anecdotes to your reasons, what humans need more of, how you acknowledged it. Thank you for your insight. I think many would benefit from this read.
Thank you so much! What a wonderful message to return to. Very grateful for your reading and your thoughtfulness. It’s such a personal piece so seeing it resonated with even one person this way means more than I can express. Thank you again. I’m sorry I’m just seeing this. I was a bit inactive back then but I’m definitely not anymore. Hope all is well and happy new year! Looking forward to staying in touch.
I loved how you broke these ideas down into simple, lived truths, especially the part about how real help only works when someone feels safe with you, and how giving freely doesn’t mean erasing yourself. The bit about ‘impactful work’ also stayed with me, it’s rare to see someone articulate that so cleanly. Glad I stumbled onto this, your writing has that kinda clarity that stays with the reader :)
What a wonderful message to return to! I’m really grateful for your read. It’s a deeply personal piece so this means a lot. I am glad I stumbled into YOU! Thanks for making my day and sorry I am just seeing this — I was a bit inactive then but definitely not anymore. Hope all’s well! Happy New Year!
Thank you for reading! And for such a kind, thoughtful response. I’m really glad it spoke to you — it means a lot 🤍 I am just seeing this as I was a bit inactive then but not anymore. Hope all’s well!
I sure did! Thank you for reading and for such a kind response. I’m glad the list and perspective spoke to you — it means a lot to know it connected. 🤍 I’m just seeing this — I was a bit imagine during that time but not anymore! Hope all’s well.
Really enjoy thinking about your principles... very in alignment with my flow and I can see that we are fully in the same frequency today. Safety and generosity are two areas we could all lean into more. Looking forward to learning more from you. 🤍
I’m only just seeing this now, but what a beautiful message to return to. I love that you named safety and generosity; those are values I’m really trying to live and write from. So glad we’re connected. 🤍 I’m more active now than I was when I wrote this piece so looking forward to chatting more x
Thank you so much. Thank you for your thoughtful reading. It’s a deeply personal essay so can’t tell you how much it means that you took time to read it. Sorry I’m just seeing this — I wasn’t very active when I wrote this so missed it. Now I am! Hope you’ve been well!
