Thank you for sharing this Kait. I recently listened to a couple episodes of Myth Matters podcast about Psyche and Eros. In one of them, Dr. Catherine Svehla talks about how Psyche was literally exiled and sent away for being too beautiful, and how when listening to the story, it can bring up some pangs of where we feel "too-muchness" in our own lives. I definitely have been feeling those pangs, and reading this piece was a nice reminder that I am not at all alone in this. Thank you for showing up as your full self, and inspiring us to do the same despite the complexities of it all :)
Anna - thank you for taking the time to read this and share your thoughts. I've never heard of Myth Matters, but I'm definitely going to check it out! Myths offer us so much. I've just started listening to the Blindboy podcast, and he does a lot of deep dives on myths and how they relate to us today. It's amazing!
Ohhh thank you for the rec, I'm unfamiliar with Blindboy but am adding it to my list! Looking forward to exploring it, and reading your future words :)
