Can I Reply to Healing Texts?
Healing Texts is designed to be a two-way street, even if responses aren’t always possible. When you reply to a message, you’re contributing to a larger conversation.
Absolutely! You’re welcome to reply and share your thoughts or experiences with Healing Texts. Your engagement is a vital part of our community, and hearing from you helps shape the support and inspiration I provide each day.
However, due to the growing number of subscribers, I can’t guarantee a personal response to every message. Here’s how it works and what you can expect when you reach out.
Healing Texts is designed to be a two-way street, even if responses aren’t always possible. When you reply to a message, you’re contributing to a larger conversation that benefits not just you but the entire community. Whether you’re sharing a personal story, offering gratitude, or simply letting me know how a message impacted your day, your words add depth and meaning to what Healing Texts aims to achieve.
One subscriber, Emma from London, shared how a daily affirmation helped her navigate a particularly stressful period at work. She wrote, “Your messages remind me to stay grounded and focus on what I can control. Thank you for being a source of strength during tough times.” Testimonials like Emma’s highlight the impact these texts can have on individual lives.
Alternative Ways to Engage
Even if a personal reply isn’t possible, there are still meaningful ways to engage with I and the community:
Share Your Story on Social Media: Tag @ryanpuusaari or use our dedicated hashtag (#healingtexts) to share how the texts have influenced your life. Your story might inspire others and create a ripple effect of positivity.
Provide Feedback Through Surveys: Occasionally, I’ll send out surveys to gather more structured feedback. These are great opportunities to share detailed thoughts and suggestions that can help improve Healing Texts.
Subscribe to Substack: On Substack, you can access an archive of past messages and engage more deeply with the content. It’s also a space where you might find more interactive elements like comments or discussion threads.
Your participation, whether through replies, social media shares, or survey responses, plays a crucial role in the evolution of Healing Texts. Each piece of feedback helps refine the messages and ensures they remain relevant and impactful.
As Healing Texts grows, I’m exploring ways to enhance interaction without compromising the quality and consistency of the messages. Future plans include:
Featured Stories: Periodically highlighting subscriber stories in newsletters or on Substack to celebrate and share collective experiences.
Interactive Webinars: Hosting live sessions where subscribers can join, ask questions, and engage in real-time discussions about personal growth and healing.
Community Spotlights: Introducing segments that showcase the diverse backgrounds and journeys of our subscribers, fostering a deeper sense of connection and understanding.
Healing Texts is here to remind you that you’re never alone on your journey. Whether you’re sharing your experiences, seeking support, or simply receiving a daily nudge of encouragement, each interaction strengthens our collective path toward healing and self-discovery.
To every subscriber who takes the time to reply, share, and engage with Healing Texts, thank you. Your stories, feedback, and support are the lifeblood of this community.
While I may not be able to respond to each message personally, please know that your voices are heard and deeply appreciated. Together, we are building a network of support, resilience, and hope. One message at a time.

Beyond Healing Texts
Some people want to stay with the messages as they are. Others want a way to carry the work a little further, off the phone and into daily life. If that’s you, there are a few options available.
Books — Wood Island Books gathers the posts that resonated most with readers and puts them into books for people who want to spend more time with the writing.
Journals — Designed for reflection and integration, these journals offer space to write through the thoughts that don’t surface easily, with prompts meant to support honesty rather than performance.
Merchandise — Hoodies, shirts, and journals created as simple reminders to keep going. Practical pieces meant to carry the tone of this work into everyday life.
I also write in two longer form newsletters that explore different sides of this work.
Healing Thoughts — A reflective newsletter focused on steadiness, regulation, and everyday healing, with writing meant to slow things down and name what often goes unnoticed.
Shadow Thoughts — A darker companion newsletter that explores anger, grief, identity, and the parts of healing that don’t fit neatly into optimism.
There’s no expectation to follow everything.
These are simply options, available when you want to take the work off the screen and into your hands, your routines, or your inner life.
