You are brilliantly beyond awareness itself, you are steeped in your practice and birthright to embodying your worth, value, and beauty without compromising. This piece is a beacon of hope for (and a testament to) how one can transform old learned (and ingrained) patterns into ways of life that deeply serve —not only the individual but the whole of the collective. Thank you dear Isabelle. You are easily most lovable and desirable through my eyes.

It’s remarkable to consistently pick up your writing and read my own story to a T. Shocking someone; this one hit hard. Tx for the open sharing . You’ve moved vulnerability thru safety channels and now

You can guide thru your wisdom and I am soaking every last drop

Thanx for your endless talent on so many levels …. Now that’s gotta include the right brain too right ?

Thank you for sharing this. So much of it resonates with me very deeply. I’m grateful you exist. I also decided to stop dating and prioritize myself. It’s been nice, to say the least. I don’t even look at men I don’t know anymore. I’ve been taken from enough.

Sending lots of light and love (and space for us to take up).

Thanks for reading & for commenting, Jade. I’m sorry it resonates, but of course not surprised. Glad you’ve been prioritizing yourself & yes, here’s to taking up space! ✨

Beautifully vulnerable, hopeful and strong writing as always. If we speak up, it becomes attributed to us - even by the women. It’s uniquely curious.

Isabel Gomez-Moriana's avatar

Thanks, Celeste. Speaking up often threatens those who’ve experienced the same, but kept quiet.

Wow, Isabel. Clear, moving, powerful, raw. This is some extraordinary writing, and I am grateful for the message you've shared. And this -- "I’ve learned what it feels like to not be constantly braced for disappointment and heartbreak. To not be reacting to someone else’s ambivalence." That's a mighty fine place to have landed. Kudos to you, and much love.

Isabel Gomez-Moriana's avatar

Wow. Thank you so much, Karen. For reading and for your incredibly kind words! I so deeply appreciate it. xox
