Wow, Chelsea, I’m so sorry to hear about how grueling the past year has been. I also had a rough stretch, but only about 9 months and nowhere nearly as crushing as yours.
I, too, have found myself worried about how people might react to my spirituality, which is not conventional. But if it helps, I have learned that it’s very freeing to just say things out loud to others. The sound of the voice expressing your beliefs and ponderings in the “real” world (whatever that is) can unlock the doors that sometimes shackle us as writers.
Either way, I’m glad you survived and have found your footing. I look forward to reading about your journeys to new vistas, both physical and spiritual.
