Aww, loved this piece SO much Abbey. I'm also a sky watcher, moon lover too. You have captured something so life giving. Xo💜

I know that feeling of trying to watch and remember so well. I wish I could drink it in or bottle it up but perhaps the fact that it’s fleeting is what makes it so magical in the first place. Beautiful pictures, beautiful words, Abbey!

Aww thank you, Lindsey. That’s really sweet. And I agree! Just like watching the sun set over water… you want to bottle it up. I like reminding myself of moments like this that are still free magic and mood boosters and emotional medicine out there, when so many things are chaotic and rushed.

You are the magic Abbey. You cracked my heart opened even more. To have met such a beautiful soul like you is no coincidence. I do love watching sunsets and skies too... I do feel out of place most often... I do feel like a machine trying to find my way in my human shape. Hahaha we were born from the same fire. There is no other explanation than this. 💋⚡💛💛💛

Ahhh to be an appreciator of the finest art, which is Nature. Nothing like a good sky to make you feel.

Aw! Thank you, Joana. I wrote this one after I’d already penned a lot of familial trauma pieces and wanted to force myself out of being potentially genre pigeon holed. It was a self induced writing exercise. ❤️

Abbey! You're my same height! That is neat! (Dumb quote from Orange County). Actually you are probably half an inch taller, heh.

Also, wanna say that authentic voices feel rare on Substack these days, so thanks for writing. The view looks inspiring 🤩

You are so good at being present. That is a good trick for a writer because we spend so much time in another world!
