Congratulations on this beautiful piece! So evocative. I also have trouble sharing/posting about my work. I started my substack last week, and have told close friends and strangers, but am still holding off on the "big announcement" post across my communities. The fear of being seen is so, so relatable. Thank you for this.

Well done Tamzin! You wrote an exceptional piece that the world needed to see. It stirs up so much.

It is so hard to put it out into the world yourself rather than have it posted elsewhere. If you hadn't posted about it here though, I would not have ever been able to read it and I'm sure some of your other readers are the same. Keep putting it out there and know that it will land where it is supposed to land.

Tamzin! This is amazing! Your essay is beautiful and you deserve to shout about it from the rooftops. I’m so pleased you did decide to share it because I’d never have discovered it if not. Well done, and huge congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻🤍

Such a beautiful piece, I am not sure I have the words to do it justice right now, it feels like a piece that will stay with me and that I will be thinking about for a while. So pleased it got some of the recognition it deserves

I’m so grateful Suleika shared it because that is what led me here (I’m sure I’m not the only one). While I love to hear from people who’s names I recognize, often it’s those I don’t, people living “normal” lives, that I truly connect with and resonate on a deep level.
