Hi Ali, nice to find you over here. I was drawn to the name, "Abnormally Normal" and smiled when I clicked on it to find it was you. :) Great name for your newsletter! I read your article above & I must say, I really like the idea of old dormant friendships being called "star friendships." There is something lovely about that idea. The love is still there and the gratitude of the times shared. :)Thanks for sharing.

Oh hey Orla, that's so cool that you were drawn to Abnormally Normal and that we are connected here too. I'm still quite new here but I'm enjoying doing it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I also love this idea of star friendships, there's something really peaceful and healing about it.

You joined Substack at just the right time as they were low key before, but now they have developed the platform and it seems people are enjoying it. :)

Oooo that's great to know :-) I'm cross posting on Medium too. I've created a publication on Medium with the same name. Do you do that?

No, I don't use the same name, but I will mention Medium and my publications here, and the same on Medium, but I have decided to keep them a bit separate. For me, Medium is for a wider audience and a fun space for me to try new things. I have a specific purpose for the Narrow Gate. I think what you're doing is great too. We're all just finding our own way. :)
