Lovely read, and so many similarities! This sentence warmed my heart: “Your caretakers are aware and understanding of your sensitivity, it’s just that your particular brand is foreign to them…But it doesn’t need to be familiar to them. Trust me, you are fine the way you are.”

Nobody said it to me in childhood but a few saw it fortunately. Thanks for sharing 💜

I am hooked. Need to read more of your stuff:) Can identify with a lot of it, as I would also describe myself as a wandering, exploring sould always looking to grow and expand, as well as stay in peace with where I am.

I wrote Aurea through the lens of my younger self when I was contending with a lot. With empathy and intense observation, internal and external. I think this character resonates with a lot of people on the examined path.

Comments like these make my day. Thank you so much. It is a journey, that’s for sure. This lifetime merely introduces the universe and the players to the reader. A lot more to come.

This is lovely prose, quite magical and evocative. And I agree completely with the reincarnation on different worlds philosophy. Have you read 'The 9 lives of Tyo' by Murry Hope? I think you'd like it. And her other Paschat books, for that matter...

I've added this recommendation to my cart. The race I write about in the 5 life path is feline. Thank you for being one of the few people who take the time to read my WIP and comment on it.

Oh wow! Where have you been hiding? This is strong descriptive prose with a steady pace and a good sturdy voice. I need to know more about Aurea!

This comment made my day. Thank you comrade for this kind remark🙏❤️ there are currently 5 lifetimes published. I’m incredibly busy at my day job atm but hope to do nothing but write from July through the rest of the year. I also have sections On writing and journal entries that I hope you like in the meantime.

This is lovely! :)

The writing feels grounded enough, but also mystical, hinting at greater things. It very much feels to me like this is a story being told by a soul experiencing life as an organic being. It is also fairly relatable, even though its only the beginning and about a different life path than mine personally. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more!

Thank you so much for being here Steven! You’ve been a part of Metanoia for a while and your opinion is very valuable to me. I hope you’re patient because the 7 is actually the last lifetime lol 😅 I haven’t written it yet.

I liked it, I also wanna know where you get this art cus if you draw this yourself, then you’re AMAZING.

It’s ironic how I have a serial with a main character named Aurora and your main character is named Áurea, pretty cool!

Thank you! I found it on tumblr and am trying to find the artist. I couldn’t get it on reverse google image search initially so ill have to dig deeper. I like it a lot and hope I can give credit. That is ironic, and AURORA is my favorite singer/song writer. I didn’t discover her until long after I started writing Metanoia though. I like to think the ideas are out there waiting for the right people to grab them so I’m not surprised. I’m sure someone is writing my story as well in their own image. Anyway, it’s super cool to find like minded people on here. Thank you for taking the time to read my first post ❤️

You should also try DeviantArt, there are a lot of COOL Artists there that can make dream-like art. I think dream-like art would definitely fit your story. I like to think of stories and content around the world as a web of constant inspiration, even if the creators don't even notice that they've borrowed from other past creators. It's a beautiful thing, this web of inspiration.

I don't have a table of contents yet that is separate from the stories at this time. Unfortunately the way substack is set up, there isn't an easy way to have this, so instead I put all the previous chapters in a post at the beginning of each post, in case for example you wanted to jump to Part 1 of The Mediator From Part 1 The Communicator. If you want to look at the future posts, I suggest simply clicking next, or going to a recent post and navigating the table of contents from there. I hope that helps!

Oh yes. This is only the beginning. Aurea is simply finding her footing, and she has a lot of help along the way. Everyone plays a role in each others evolution here.

You are my first paid subscriber and after toiling over this WIP for so long I thought it wouldn’t be good enough for something like this, so when I received the email notification I was incredibly moved. Thank you so much, I am eternally grateful for your subscription. Please let me know if you have any questions along the way or if you have any requests.
