Just started following this and am playing catch up. Loving your honesty! Reading your list was like reading a page out of my own journal. The one where I keep trying to do the 12 weeks artists way, but don’t make it past week 3 and keep repeating day 21 after a week gap! I’m really looking forward to following your journey and hopefully unf*cking myself a little bit along the way! Sending lots of love xx
Hello Emmajo! I hope you're having a good start to today, and thanks so much for being here and for sharing your thoughts too! Ahh the Artist's Way! After I read your comment I rooted around in some shelves as I am sure I have it too, but have never done it. I then realised it must be in a different bag or box, so it'll turn up in due course as the unf*cking does its job 😆. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you, and lots of love right back xx
Thanks Per! I'm so glad you're here as you were a real catalyst. You have such an important message to share, and many people will benefit from it (and your coming book!). Also...apologies for the name error - I'll go and unf*ck that immediately. 🤣☀️
I’ll be here too. I think you’ll find some well-needed space on Substack to think through some of the huge things you’ve been through/are still going through. The aging/existential dread/childless journey is one I know all too well and I’ll be interested in your different perspective on it. All the best xx
Thank you Lynne, and for sharing a little window into your life too - I appreciate it and look forward to writing about all of those things. I’m already feeling really happy about creating this space to share and flow - it feels SO good to be able to be honest and longer-form, rather than staying in little ‘silos’ I’d put myself in. I think my writing here will inform lots of other parts of how I show up, and that’ll be enhanced hugely by people sharing their thoughts too. Sending much love x
Just read your first post and LEMME TELL YOU! I felt all of this in my soul. I have felt like a blob just existing on the planet, dealing with one terrible thing after another. I was also diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago. I want to keep writing about my journey as well, and hope it won't end up another "project" I've failed to see through. Thanks for sharing, gained a subscriber.
Hello Allie, and how lovely to have you here. Thanks for taking the time to read and to leave such a heartfelt comment. I completely relate to how you've been feeling and where you're at - you're not alone! We're all lifting each other up here, and cheering each other on, so welcome in! Keep writing, but also remember to be kind to yourself when you can't or don't write - I know I have to keep reminding myself of this too! Sending all good things to you from here in Cornwall xx
I'm in! Wow that all sounds fucking huge. Sorry for all the pain you've experienced and yet here you are finding a way to grow through it and shining a beacon on life's messy, undulating path. Thank you xxx
Tansy!!! Yesss!!!! Hello and sorry I'm only just reading this comment. I'm still navigating how to see everything here on Substack a bit (but I am loving the platform so far!). Thanks for your lovely words and your empathy. It sure is a messy path, but we're doing the best we can aren't we. I hope you have a good day ahead, and that anything that needs unf*cking gets what it needs.💛 I am really glad you are here. Lots of love to you xxx
Yay Sandy!!! That's brill. It's lovely knowing you're reading, thank you. Gosh we're always trimming the sails of life aren't we (and I'm just clearing all the crap off the deck after a prolonged storm 🤪). Hope things are going well for you, and sending love to you too. xx
Lovely to have you here Penny, and thank you! Yes, going to definitely do this gently, and with lots of self-patience. Hopefully that’ll be a new skill I’ll hone! 🤩 xx

Great stuff. This is going to be fun to follow, Gail. And it’s Per Håkansson (not Håkkenson). 🤭
