This was a strangely difficult piece to write. It took me all of this week to figure out what I wanted to say for the Cancer New Moon. In the end I just wrote something from the heart. Now, I'd love to hear from yours. It's just us in the paid community here. Love you ♡ Happy new moon 🌑🦀
This is a beautiful piece Gwen! What is joy without sadness and what is sadness without joy.. I watched it today with my nearly-13-year-old sister, super special because I bought her the first Inside Out when it came out on dvd hehe 9 years ago!! The movie made me question and wonder a lot, I'm tempted to write something about it too ~ perfect timing with deep emotions of cancer szn xxxxx
Aww! She's the exact age as Riley 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I'm so curious what her experience was!!!! That's so sweet that you bought her the first Inside Out, she must've been so little then. If you write something about it, def tag meeee! 💞 would love to read it! Happy Cancer season my sweet cardinal friend ♡
I know!! She is literally going through something similar too in deciding what school to go to next year with her friends all spreading out. She didn't say much when I tried talking to her about it but could tell she was in her feels lol. Happy Cancer season back to ya Gwen!! Hope it's lighting you up in true first house style 💘
This was beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I love getting to know more of your story through your writing. I want to give little Gwen a hug 🥹❤️
Thank you for sharing these experiences with us Gwen ❤️ totally not tearing up at 8:15 in the morning...! Hahha but on a serious note, practicing & further strengthening ways in which sadness and joy can coexist is -i think- possibly the best and healthiest thing you can do for yourself. I'm proud of you for making that possible for them! ❤️ they both love you so much and it seems this movie has helped to make it very clear again too 🫶🏻 feel hugged dear 🫂
"They both love you very much" 🥺🥺🥺 Ahhh you are too sweet for this world Jilly!!! Hehe. How do you personally allow Joy and Sadness to coexist within you? I'd love to know your experiences too. I love YOU. Big hugs back!!
I can't wait to watch this! I loved your journey through the emotions, Gwen. A beautiful connection between joy and sadness, too. That's exactly why I love going to the depths of even the most painful emotional work, because on the other side is true joy. I think a lot of our societies today paint a fake picture of joy to escape feeling 'weak,' but the true strength in my eyes is to be willing to go to into the dark so the light becomes that much brighter.
That's exactly what your Substack stands for 🥺🥺🥺🥺✨ I swear the Pluto AC line gets more loud every time I listen to your words!!! LOL!!! Love this darling, thank you. If you end up watching it, come back to this and let me know if it hits different, I'm so curious. I think you'd really really enjoy it. Love you 🫶
I was still in the “inside out cloud”, coming home from the cinema yesterday, thinking about all those repressed emotions (my 12th House Scorpio Moon) when your email hit my inbox. Perfect timing.
I loved the movie so much.
My husband said how wonderful it would have been if it was available when our daughter was a teenager.
It also made me realise that my youngest must be going through puberty at the ripe age of 7. 🤣
OMGGGG I feel youuuu!! ✨ My inner teenager felt so seen in this movie. I can only imagine how it must've felt watching it as a Mom, having actually parented a teenager!! Also – hahahaha puberty at age 7 😂😂😂😂 they definitely are growing up faster than we did!
How are you feeling now? Which character did you feel more resonant with? 🤪
