i did a lot of walking around alone at vibecamp having a sort of quiet communication with my baby, hoping its alive and growing, wanted to ask many people to touch my belly but was afraid to, like if i lose this one i might be inviting them to care in a way that could hurt
Conversation
but i am critical of this fear, also not quite sure that's exactly what it is, since i think that kind of invitation is what i want to make and what could be good for a lot of folks who i'd love to love in more complete and lasting ways (i want to love so many people this way)

so maybe it's something else that had me holding back, and maybe one day i'll be better at asking for help figuring out what it is

I was actually a little intimidated to meet you because you were one of my first follows and I feel a really deep but (until now) entirely parasocial relationship with you. Getting to sit and talk with you was one of the highlights of my time there.

Your presence was so calming. I felt that if I’d asked for us to sit in silence together for a few hours it wouldn’t have even felt like an ask. That’s a bit strange and specific, but there is a deep and distinct comfortability with who you are that I admire so much.

I would’ve loved to have touched your belly or talked with you about the baby, but all in good time. Just seeing you when I thought I’d never get the chance was wonderful.

i'm really touched by all of this, and yes, you understand me very well to see that i would love to just sit with you and quietly exist together - i loved seeing you around, seeing you move and speak to people, how you had just the sort of warmth and strength i expected

i am still in awe of actually seeing you and so many others i've wondered about in the silence of my own head, and it feels like such a sweet and fragile and possible hope to see you again someday!

gonna take this opportunity for my own appreciation - i *loved* meeting you however briefly, i still fondly remember that piece of writing you shared with me way back that i was really touched by, and thank you for the very lovely massage 🥲
i was glad we got that hug in at the last minute, and next time i wanna give you a more thorough massage, i'm curious about your body!
