The best thing about Substack is that it's a "Yes, And" place - we can subscribe to lots of folks all at once. Maybe some of the followers of the Big Names will find their way to you and me and the others as well.
Your photo reminded me of "The Birds." I thought it was a still from the movie at first glance! Fascinating and frightening all at once!
Thanks for the reminder and reflections. I’m often worried there is not enough space for my voice, especially when others are bigger or more well known.
And the emotions connected to substack, I can definitely relate to!
I both love substack for the community, incredible reads on topics I never would have consider, and also get jealous when others have more subscribers, or when a famous person starts a substack as well.
Although I personally try not to get too caught up in the latter part, and I just do my personal journalling / positive writing for myself and my audience, and right now that provides more than enough satisfaction to keep me going without getting too worked up over "others" subscribers counts.
Plus all of the incredible writers on this platform have definitely given me so much food for thought, and also increased my writing to a place where I am proud to be.
Aaaaabsolutely!! I completely agree with you about all the goodness that's here on Substack and with the communities we build up!
It's just so wild and funny to me when I just observe what I do, and how innate the reaction was when I'd hear about others announcing their Substack haha.
I'm over here, enjoying my time and loving it here... Then the next second I'm clutching my pearls at the audacity of others wanting in on this creative space too?! Ahaha, kidding, kidding!
Ultimately though, it is the conscious thing to keep in mind. Staying in our own lane and enjoying ourselves; that's all that really matters!
The scariest thing about Substack is . . . doubt was concerned, fear was nervous, insecurity trembled, and darkness brightened, because Cierra picked up a pen.
Always sending so much love to you, Nadia!! Thank you as always for being such a bright guiding light for me. :) <3

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better. Where were you when my nervous system went up in flames hearing big people announce their Substacks?! Haha.
And yes! I was looking under "chaos" and found this photo, and it reminded me of "The Birds", too. Just as chaotic, so it fit perfectly!
If you ever need support, drop me a line. 😊
Sorry this is so late, but absolutely! Thank you, always, Victoria!

I'm so happy to know this all resonated with you, Ruthie!
I'm telling everyone (and myself, always) that there's room for all of our voices. You never know who needs it. ♥
