This is lovely! And I really like your description "highly sensitive, forest-wandering introvert navigating life." :) My family is similar - tucked into a little corner of forest in Maine. I look forward to readying more about your wanderings, and hope you'll also visit me at Moments where I share photography & stories about moments of connection in nature and everyday life :)

"There has been so much on my mind of late; disappointments and dreams, new ideas and releases of old ones, work and the day-to-day of life." I loved this once so much, Whitney. I too am releasing pieces and nearly ready to go quiet for the Winter. Nearly.

I love your phrase 'the autumn energy of release' and in my mind it somehow mirrors the deciduous trees releasing their leaves before they rest over the winter.
