Snippets.
I’ve experienced something really cool recently. As I have posted snippets here in recent weeks I have noticed the suggested posts below. I think they have always been there as a nudge to read further but it’s only recently that I have been drawn to click and read, then click again when three new options appear. Maybe they’re randomly generated? Maybe AI is picking them based on keywords or themes? Regardless there is always a thread, always a discovery within of how things have changed AND how they have stayed the same. Memories and emotions that come back to life and awareness of the different versions of us and our lives.
It has added a new element to the experience of this writing for me. One of joy and play. What snippet of our story will pop up for me to spend a moment with as I release the current one into the space?
I had no idea that this could or would happen when I started. No idea of what it could become for me or for others. I had hope and I simply trusted that if it felt as important as it did for me to write then it must be for something.
If I had never started I wouldn’t have this archive of stories now to revisit.
Please start the project Mama, give the thing your heart wants you to do a chance. Spend some time with/on/for yourself, even if it’s only possible for a few moments a week. It’s possible, this is proof, for those moments to stack up over time to represent something much much bigger.
