Jumped in because o have a social media problem and can't go a whole day apparently. And because you are magic
You sit and feel the weight of the darkness but the darkness isn't there to smother you. It is the gentle touch of the elements as they seek to give you rest. You are made of magic so fierce and wild it gives the horrors pause. And this is such a gift. You are precious and I'm so thankful you exist

I guess I will simply put "substack" on my mute list.
