Gentle Musings is all about being creatively seen and celebrated in our multiplicity and sweet humanness. Come with me as I weave the micro with the macro and explore how themes of creative gumption, belonging, desire, and fulfillment exist within the idiosyncratic space of everyday culture. Both for you and for me, Gentle Musings is about welcoming the fullness of life again and again—gently. Gentle Musings is a project under the creative studio of Regarding Dew, by Maggy Navin.
Knowing what I share here would have saved me MAJOR heartache and internalized shame around feeling behind and alone in what I most care about. If you're in your 20s, this is for you. It's one to listen to with tea and share with a friend who might need some gentle encouragement to trust their longings.
