When I tell you I could literally feel my tear ducts getting PRIMED. You write so beautifully, and a GARGANTUAN "Fuck You" to that bitch who fired you because you wouldn't perform "office politics" for a remote job?!

The burden daughter part hit me hard as hell, and I'm glad you found your poetry again because damn do we need it on here. Bravo!!

This is one of my most favorite pieces I’ve read on here yet. It feels like the Divine aligned things in your life for you to remember and fully embrace the role of writer. I know how painful this realignment process can be. How gut wrenching, and scary—especially as a Mother. Thank you for sharing your journey of arriving here. I wish nothing but endless abundance and peace for you and your family as you continue to thrive 🌹

Such a beautiful, heart wrenching piece. I am in shock about this loss of your job. And also, pleased to hear that it served as a catalyst to lead you where you are now, writing in the way that only you can.

August heat pouring outtt and how Asa! I could feel the heaviness of it, the weight of your experiences. So much strength in your vulnerability. I love how you found your way back to writing, almost like it was always waiting for you. You have a gift for turning pain into poetry, I am so excited to read more of your work.

'i tried to keep my hands busy so my mind wouldn’t fall as my heart already had. i organized, and reorganized. i went through old boxes, old versions of myself.'

My jaw is on the floor

Asa, I am so grateful that you were able to find your way back to poetry and self-expression. If you hadn't, we may have never had the privilege of reading your words and hearing your voice.
