Marie Marie Marie!!!! This is insaneeee!!!! I’m convinced you’re on a first-name basis with the stars, for I can’t think of how else this masterpiece came to be, it’s like you carry constellations within and through your words, you let us witness a few stars and they never stop burning, for even in your emptiness and pain, you find stardust in the corners of rooms and details of situations that would’ve otherwise been overlooked and aaaahh I love this!! ❀️❀️❀️

I'm so grateful I found this book and this song when I did, they inspired the best in me and I needed that ! I don't even know what to say, these words make me believe I honored them to the best of my abilities. You're always so kind to me and so generous with my work, your heart is so special Ella 🫢🏻 thank you very much for giving me some fuel to keep going !

Marie!! This is one of the most fascinating pieces I have read since joining Substack. It evoked the same feelings that Halsey evokes in me through her music, insane!!! I felt every word in my bones and immersed myself in your fantastic brain!!! β™₯️

Rosita did you just write a song ?? I've read this several times now, each time finding new meanings and it's just.. incredible. You are an incredible writer; making some of the most abstract emotions ever feel tangible. What some would consider as contradictions you just show them as one and the same! love and death? surrender and momentum?

Vulnerability is cosmic in your hands. Whether the author falls or not, I know I have fallen for this piece πŸ’œ

I’d really like to pick your brain about the contradictions you mention, it’s interesting. It does fuel a lot of my writing I think, the two sides of a same coin. It makes for a more nuanced text. It's like you have a spectrum and you easily move the cursor from one side to the other, if that makes sense ? That’s so beautifully put, you honor me. Thanks Juan ❀️
