Julie, I was rooting for you during this entire read and wanted to cheer loudly from the sidelines when you rushed to meet them in the end. You are brave, and I’m inspired! Timing is everything and it sounds like the universe wants you to know that you’re on the right path. Even if you don’t hear from this writer/agent ever again, something beautiful is clearly in the works. I’m excited for you!
The way I just had to wipe tears from my eyes in this cafe I’m sitting in right now (the same cafe I witnessed this interaction at, no less)!! Thank you for the kind words and for the confirmation that timing truly is everything 🫶 . I deeply feel being cheered on!
I love this so much! The reminder about how taking steps in the direction we are interested in, in the direction of what brings us joy, does get the energetic momentum of the universe (my word, fill in yours) going! Synchronicities start to show up and the path opens up and shows itself more clearly.
Energetic momentum—that's exactly it. The ‘outcome’ might not be a text or email from either of these women, but rather something that comes on slower, that if looked at in isolation but not even seem related.
Taking the steps and then trusting they'll lead to something—whether it's specific, tangible, or otherwise, is powerful <3
And honestly, no matter how much I try to go into a dream space to envision an incredible future, I AM limited by what I know and what I’ve experienced. So that’s where “taking the steps and then trusting they’ll lead to something…” is so important because OFTEN where they lead are places I could not have even dreamed of because they’ve never existed in my life before. And they are so much better and expansive than I imagined.
Wow, so much of this resonates: the eavesdropping (my #1 favorite activity), the thought spirals, the anxiety, the blacking out. I also get post-social-interaction anxiety which is almost worse than the pre-interaction anxiety, but I feel like no one ever talks about it! Anyway, hats off to you for doing this! Who knows- maybe it will be this great serendipitous moment in your life, or maybe it’s preparation for a future moment. Either way, a win to celebrate.
I totally agree—I feel like the narrative is "do the hard thing and then it'll all be okay!" but, for me (and sounds like for you!) I continue to spin out well after the 'main event'.
And yes, if anything, this was a moment to prove something to myself, maybe when it really matters I'll have the proof that I can do things that feel mortifying!

My heart was racing the whole time reading this like..."is she going to talk to them!" So glad that you did!
😅 oops!

Thank you for all of this, Lindsey!
