Oooooof well there goes the water in my eyes; this is so well-written, introspective, the pacing is lovely, and my goodness if the line "labels are words on a map...not the place itself..." doesn't get me 😭 Thank you for this, Maia. (Happy first substack comic!)
Maia, this is fabulous! I'm soooo happy for you! Yes, that ending is devastatingly gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your journey with ... the world! xoxo
Maia, so touching. Your art and words are impactful and beautifully convey your journey. I love the love about labels on maps not being there save as the place itself...so true! I'm very happy for you and can't wait for the next entry!
This is so moving. I hesitate to write more than this because your words are all we need right now. But wow. Wow and thanks. Thanks for letting us in like this and wow. Wow. I'm so thankful you were put on this planet.
Rereading this post 2 years later & so deeply touched again. Being Maia's mom, I've witnessed (since day one) such an amazing journey of Maia growing, changing, becoming & finding her true self. What an honor! You are so beautiful in every way and I love you beyond words.
