I don't know if I can comment anything that will do justice to what this piece made me feel and think. But I just wanted to thank you. This is so dense with meaning and beauty and meeting-the-moment. Thank you.
Whenever I read your thoughts on “does the world need my writing should I continue sharing” etc. I think “OMG YES ROBINA WE LOVE IT please keep sharing!”
You have taught us so much and put words to so many thoughts and experiences that are hard and even painful to describe. Thank you for continuing to share amidst your conflicting feelings of it all.
So many beautiful points woven together - you build the word blocks of loose ends and conflicted emotions into a creation that helps make sense of it all - thank you so much Robina!
You’re such a beautiful writer. I often read your writing and think, this is exactly it. It seems like you’ve written to me, for me. I don’t know if this comment makes sense. But, thank you. Thank you.
really feeling the part about how the topics you originally wrote about on here feel almost irrelevant in the face of genocide, even though we all know they are hugely relevant. I feel this about whenever I write on children's rights or parenting - my internal dialogue insists that writing about consent is so privileged when children are being starved and bombed. And it is - but also, I remind myself it's all connected. That it's all about consent at the root, it's all about domination and power. I always adore your pieces and I cannot wait to read your book!
I loved this article. Thank you. I don’t identify with having an urge to write or finding ease or relief in writing, but I am so grateful for you and those like you who have this gift.
From your mouth to God's ears as they say! I am doing my best. I really hope in a few months I have good news to share with this community that has been SO supportive of me.

This comment means so much to me. The piece means a lot to me, so to know it resonates is really helpful. Thank you for taking the time.
Really relate to the “what am I writing about if not the polycrisis” and “is it even helping/does it matter” feelings ❤️🩹

I’m very grateful for you and your words… somehow simultaneously heavy and buoyant. Much like how I feel most days.
Thank you for always supporting me with your comments!

Thank you for reading!
I am so glad you (and your multigenerational community) exist in this world.
Thank you, as always for your writing (and itching to read the book when it comes out, in whatever shape/form).
Now I'm going to go back and gather a reading list from your essay :)

Just to be clear, that wasn't pressure to write 😅 just faith that your words will land in the right places 🙏🏽
It wasn’t read as pressure but a beautiful incantation of faith.
