I think this might be my favourite one from the entire tagging trend going around on Substack so thankyou for the tag Lena 🕯️
The reason you follow me?
I never thought I’d actually put myself out here like this.
I’ve always wanted to be a fantasy fiction writer, but I was also scared of being seen. The funny part is, I wasn’t even trying to show people who I am, so I stayed hidden behind my pen name without ever giving myself a chance.
Over time, I’ve realised that writing only works when you’re honest. You can’t really build anything meaningful without showing up as yourself.
Instagram never quite worked for me, so I found my way here instead thanks to Areyah DCosta. It’s been slow, but I’ve genuinely loved connecting with all of you. And somewhere in the middle of all this, I think I’ve started understanding myself a little better too.
So if you’re here, thank you. It really means a lot 🤍
