To the thing that's always been there.
A love note to the written word & your invitation to get back into YOUR craft.
Hello my dear. Hello you exquisite technology of divine proportion! The written word, I am speaking to you.
You’ve been there for me all along, even when I was in denial. Way way WAY before I wrote my first public essay titled “I Am A Writer.” The blinking cursor and empty page was gifted to me so that I can learn to string divinity together with letters and love.

Hi. I’m Bella. Shifting tones real quick so I can speak to you, the reader. Welcome! I’m back writing on my Substack. I started publishing musings here a couple years ago in a time where using my voice saved my life. I’m being overdramatic and I’m being dead serious! Writing saved me from a world of soul-crushing, truth silencing, wacko societal norms that tried to rob us of our VOICE. But I survived and thrived past that, clearly.
My writing style is… undefined? I kinda just let it rip. Because that’s how my soul operates. I’ve got Gift 51 in my Human Design which translates to the Shaker-Upper-Awakener vibe and means I’m a walking exclamation point. So now that I’ve set the stage, I’ll get back to professing my love to…

OH WRITTEN WORD, THOU HATH MY HEART! I’ve come to express this so loudly because I hid myself away from a while from facing you. From embracing you and I as a divine dream team.
The thing is, writing has always been there for me. Maybe it came out as outlines, TikToks, and long captions for a while, but we know that my Notes app never took a day off despite the plethora of distraction. And now that it’s 2024 and I’m rethinking every ounce of what I’m doing…
I find myself attracted back into writing. There’s a stillness here with you. A quiet contemplation that escapes the mindless scroll and the incessant trend following. Writing requires patience. Focus. And a head-on collision with your truest Self.
2024 needs more of that. I need more of that. I need you! Dear Written Word. I’ve been gone for too long. And god damnit, my boyfriend has been right for 1,578 days! I should write more. “You’re a good writer,” he says. You hear that, Written Word, he says I’m good with you. How sweet!
So maybe it’s time to get back together. Maybe (now speaking to you, reader), you can get back together with your craft. The one that’s always been there. That has patiently waited for you to get over yourself and get back in the ring.
What if this year we stopped denying our true path and finally let go of trend chasing? What if this year you said hello and goodbye at the same time to make room for your true calling?
The reason to slow down is that in this space, you notice more. You pick up on the subtleties you’d normally pass by. This season is the equivalent of the Written Word. It can’t be rushed. It can’t be contrived. It must arise. It must rise from within.
