You agree to the terms of service below, and the Terms of Use for Substack, the technology provider.
Terms of Flow
The Waterbearer’s terms of service are separate from the terms of Substack. However, as a paid or free user of the platform, I suggest you review the terms of the platform in addition to these below.
Effective Date: March 5, 2025
Welcome to The Waterbearer, where words move freely, thoughts run deep, and creativity knows no leash. If you’re here, reading, subscribing, or vibing with this space, you’re agreeing to these terms.
1. What You’re Getting Into
This a space for raw expression, honest reflection, and deep dives into the human experience. By engaging with this content, you’re stepping into a world where creativity, spirituality, and intellect mix. If that’s your thing, welcome. If not, no hard feelings—this might not be your cup of tea.
2. Ownership & Respect
Every word, every thought, every piece of creative fire you find here? Belongs completely to the writer. That means you can read, share the link, and discuss—but copying, reposting, or remixing without permission? Nah.
If I feature guest writers, their work remains theirs, but by submitting, they give me the right to share and celebrate it in this space.
Plagiarism or stealing content? That’s a no. Let’s keep it real and honor each other’s work.
3. Subscriptions & Support
Free Subscribers get access to select musings, but Paid Subscribers? Y’all get the real deal—exclusive pieces, deeper conversations, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes magic.
Payments are handled through Substack’s payment services. They’re non-refundable unless there’s an actual issue. Please communicate with me directly regarding the terms of your subscription as it pertains to my creations.
Prices and perks may evolve as this space grows, but you’ll always get a heads-up before changes happen.
4. Community Energy
This is a space for open minds, deep thinkers, and those who appreciate real conversation. If you comment, email, or engage, keep it respectful, thoughtful, and free of BS.
Hate speech, trolling, or just general bad energy? Not here. I reserve the right to remove comments, block users, or respond back as I see fit. So, let’s know ourselves well in this space!
5. The Fine Print
Everything shared here is for expression, exploration, and insight—not professional, medical, legal, or life-altering advice. Read, reflect and apply at your own discretion.
I do my best to keep this space consistent. However, life is happening. Posts may shift, frequency may change, and I may take breaks when absolutely needed. In full transparency, you will absolutely get what you are here for !
6. Privacy & Boundaries
Your email stays your email. No spam, no selling your info, no weird third-party nonsense.
If you unsubscribe, you’re free to leave—no guilt trips, but I’ll miss you.
7. Change is Inevitable
This space evolves, and so might these terms. If anything new comes into play, I’ll let you know. Staying subscribed means you’re cool with it.
8. Hit Me Up
Got questions? Thoughts? Just wanna say hi or show your appreciation? Reach out at poetress.kennedi@gmail.com or in subscriber chats.
That’s it. Here is just mutual respect and creative flow. If you’re in, welcome. If not, all love !
