As we plan out what to say, what to do,

What Am I Missing

Imposter Syndrome

Who am I to dare to create such great things?
I am soft and gentle, and whilst there's a piece of me that shouts 'no' to all the things I see through,

Go Softly
Go Softly

My love, when there's a day you feel like you need to go softly, all you really need to do is honour it.
