Thank you Dina- I think it's such an interesting topic to explore- the many ways we experience the changes and feelings. So much to talk about, discover, and connect on! x

Oh Dina, this is beautiful. Have been thinking of you after all you shared in your last essay, and the significance for you of this month, and all of its layers, as well as capturing how it feels to navigate this stage of life in the kind of everyday moments and experiences you recall here (side note: you look beautiful in that sunglasses photo! 😎). So much more to say, and so much resonates, and THANK YOU, so much, for sharing and, in so doing, walking alongside all of us. 💗XO

Dina, I see you. I see your light. And I'm so incredibly grateful for it. It's an interesting space to be in, isn't it? Not missing the male gaze (I definitely relate to that) but also feeling a certain way about not being seen. These midlife years are full of illuminations and big feelings, that's for sure. Love to you dear friend xx
