This was a wonderful post to read- thank you! I found it so interesting what you said about people wanting to read about real people that their lives connect with- emotions, experiences, etc that we all share. This is what I try to do on my Substack but with a slightly different angle: I’m bringing to life the stories of historical people in an attempt to show that they had real and textured lives just like us. You’ve given me much food for thought!
Yay I’m so glad! I had a read of a couple of your posts and it thoroughly resonates with me. Of course you’re right - people of the past had most likely very similar experiences internally, it just got displayed or triggered differently. Fascinating subject!
Yes, please make a part 2. I feel like there's more to be explored about it. I still do feel that my writing here is slightly selfish and I still haven't figured out the writing tone for it so it's in service without sounding like a wellness magazine. 🤔
