I keep trying to write something profound and beautiful but it all sounds like bullshit and like I’m trying too hard and like I haven’t written in months which is opposite of the truth because I’ve been buried in book writing for weeks now, consumed with my voice and stories to the point of ad nauseam.
Kayti, I am exactly 10 years older than you, and aging can be complicated when you're in transition within your personal and professional life.
When I read that you're turning 34, I thought about when I was that age and all that's transpired in 10 years' time. What I can say about it is this: with every year and each new life experience, I have settled into a knowing that I didn't have 10 years ago or earlier. I won't say I'm settled inherently, as I am a restless soul. But I've come to terms with many things I never did before.
Congrats, too, on all the projects you are in process with! I hope to connect with you again soon.
I’m always so grateful for your perspective and advice. I look forward to the feeling of settling in. I think I’m on the cusp of it, but not quite there yet.
Kayti, your writing found me several years ago at a time in my life when I needed to be validated in having feelings and thinking deeply on life sometimes (maybe more so than the average person in their 20's who is kind of an old soul lol). And, now, you have no idea how excited I am to support your new memoir — literally praying it gets printed because I 100% want a copy! Upgrading my paid sub right now as well. :) Thank you for sharing the most refreshing writing. It reminds me I'm not alone even in the sucky times. Much love. ~ Lauren Dae
*waves* Hello! I got introduced to your magical world today via the lovely Jenna from Letters of Everyday Romance, and when I'm writing this, it's your birthday I think, September 19th? I hope your birthday is unfolding in a way where you feel loved, seen and supported. ✨💕 Birthdays are an interesting anchor point and one where reflection always seem to happen for me. It can be so bittersweet at times, but like you, I also find myself in a season where I feel a lot happier, despite having had to deal with a lot of grief and things crumbling away these last few years. The sadness lingers yet threads of happiness shimmer like delicate rays of light in my world...ahh the polarity of life *flails* Not sure what I'll do this year as mine is approaching as well in October, but! I hope you get to do whatever your heart desires to do on your birthday. 🤗
Huge congrats on your second memoir!! I'm excited to browse your world a bit better soon, but going by what you shared here, I've no doubt that I will enjoy all my eyes get to see. Sending so much love and extra zen vibes your way! Ride the waves you feel you need to ride and may you continue to find threads of calm & happiness as you navigate all facets in life. ✨
I’m in LA and totally feel you with the weather! I’m 38 and I’ve been going through a lot of life changes too, thank you for sharing your journey Kayti! I just upgraded to paid sub :)
Hi Kayti, I’ve been following you for a little while, pulled in by similar experiences with infertility. I’m a few years older than you and we’re on year 3 of treatments with life throwing additional medical challenges at us. It’s funny how birthdays are often triggering and how even when dealing with something as heavy as infertility we can still find ways to be so happy.
Congrats on your second memoir! Thank you for urging new subscribers, I’m in now!
I’ll keep rooting for you and will cross all my fingers and toes that this year will be your best one yet! ❤️
That’s so exciting about book! Looking forward to hearing the updates, good luck with the submission. I know I’d love to get my hands on a copy when the times comes x
There’s something so raw and human about what you’ve written. The weight of turning 34, the push and pull of being happy and unsettled at the same time—it’s real, and it feels like you’re giving voice to something a lot of people experience but don’t talk about. I completely resonate with the feeling of being overwhelmed by time, yet somehow, finding joy in the chaos. Wishing you peace as you navigate this next chapter—and can’t wait to read your memoir! It’s so clear that this journey is going to be something special. Thank you for sharing this with us.
