If you are anything like me, and on the constant search of soul and heart through the unwieldy practice of introspection ... Priya's work is absolutely essential to your daily digest. She puts shape and sense to many of the feelings that we all grapple with daily, and I always walk away from her work with a different perspective and a bit more self-knowledge.
Amanda changed my definition of what a survivor really is. Through the open-heart-surgery that is her writing she reaches out from experience to give a strength to anyone that has survived the difficult times. She knows what it costs, does not romanticize it. What she does is teaches us how to grow stronger from our pain. Together as a community.
Caitlyn, while she may not know me, saved me. In the fall of 2025 I, was deeply depressed, and then I discovered her and her kindness on social media. This led me to substack. Through her thoughtful essays on love, literature and belief in the beauty of intellectual and spiritual quietude ... I learned to love myself again. She was sharing. She was giving back what she learned in her own life. She helped me realize maybe I could too. Thank you, Caitlyn. Your publication changed my life.
