l have loved you as a stranger from outside the edges of your words, printed or streamed. Now, thanks to your newsletter, I am eternally grateful to be here, closer than a standing at the edge of things, with other kindred spirits under the protection of your wings. xxx

Just a soul who found your words through printed and then eventually Instagram format, but I am so so happy that this space exists. Your writing has contributed massively to how very seen I feel in my own existence. The platform here is new to me but what you’ve said here couldn’t resonate more. It would be a great honor and a great privilege to be brought into your world of words & be a part of the community they’ve gathered! I always so enjoy connecting with your posts on Insta, sharing those moments of magic in your words and I’m so grateful you’ve cultivated a new (safe!) space with the intention to do just that ♥️x

Yay! So lovely to meet you in this space, it’s honestly new to me too, but I’m tired of the anxiety and feeling of overexposure I get on social media - I’ll be writing about that soon, but I think a collective healing space is so necessary! ❤️

Thank you so much, Peter! It’s nice to write a piece which is longer for a change, it gave me loads of breathing room which I have missed! ❤️

Creating a Substack to foster a positive and supportive community is a fantastic idea. Your journey from the loss of your stories to the global impact of your poetry is inspiring. I appreciate the intention behind your newsletter and look forward to being part of this community.

“We are all just stars that have people names” - that’s one of my favorite poems! I have a print out of it framed on a wall. So happy to be connected here! ❤️

Hey Nikita, I have been reading your work for years and least to say, you inspired me to write as well as self-publish. I am so excited for you on this new endeavor.

Side note: I truly relate with the whole algorithm bit and how it's making it harder for people who actually follow you to see your work. I hope maybe somehow it gets better!
