Letting My Story Live
Good Girls Cry, Bad Girls Mourn is finally ready to meet its readers
Week 3 • July 31, 2026
This Full moon week feels like an initiation into something new.
Don’t you ever feel that?
It wasn’t an easy week for me, but surprisingly, it was a very progressive one.
I received the most painful treatment yet to crack open my frozen shoulder.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure whether it would help or simply make things worse.
Instead, I got better.
So I learned something.
Sometimes healing doesn’t look like resting. Sometimes healing looks like pushing through.
As my shoulder was forced open, I began training my mind as well.
Instead of sitting with pain in the foreground of my attention, I practiced letting it remain in the background while continuing to build what matters.
That was the week I finally gave birth to my subscriber page for Good Girls Cry, Bad Girls Mourn.
It wasn’t an easy job.
Every part of me wanted to hold back.
But I didn’t listen to that voice.
I made it.
And now I’m sharing it with you.
Once you subscribe, you’ll be able to enjoy the free Explorer Episodes.
Many of you may remember the very first version I wrote during the COVID lockdown.
It feels like yesterday.
Without you by my side, that first draft might never have found the courage to meet the world.
It was much simpler back then.
Now it carries a new life.
It is richer.
More cinematic.
More emotional.
I hope you’ll enjoy this new version.
For the first time, I can honestly say:
I am a published writer.
I’ve crossed the line from writing only for myself to letting my story live in the world.
Honestly, I’m excited...
...and terrified.
I have no idea what awaits me.
But one thing is certain.
No matter what happens
I will never abandon myself.
Or my dream.
Not ever again.
One last thing...
This week I was shocked to hear that Hlun Solo, a Thai travel filmmaker and creator whose work I admired, passed away.
He came from very little and built a life that inspired so many people through his travels and storytelling.
It all feels far too soon.
Honestly, I’m still trying to take it in.
I simply wanted to acknowledge his passing and send him my love.
Wherever your next journey takes you, Hlun, may it be filled with peace.
Thank you for the stories you left behind.
With love
Lalita Janette
