I enjoy reading and thinking about what you write and have written. You have always stated/shared your thoughts and feelings so well which is why readers can relate given their own condition of " just being human". Affirmation from those whom we admire or others we hope to entertain/impact in our writings and speeches is important. It will drive us to that next article, speech, or endeavor. But in the end, if a person feels good about what has been written/created, then that is all that should matter. What matters most is the reassurance of your family and best friends that you are appreciated as a writer, but loved as a spouse, mother, daughter (in-law), sister (in-law), aunt, niece, cousin, and best friend - all ages represented from 5 to 75. You are successful in so many roles and responsibilities. Best wishes for you with Moon Pollen.
This meant soooooooo much to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thought of you a lot while writing this and the convo we had on the back porch. Always appreciate and admire your perspectives! Always so grateful for your support.
Oh how I relate! You describe the feelings so well that come with this new and scary thing. And you are not letting them sink you. You are persisting. We can persist together.
Oh my gosh, I just realized that you "restacked" my post with this same comment. Hahaha! I'm learning. That's so cool. Thank you for sharing!! Yes, let's persist together forever, sister! Do we dare call ourselves the Per-Sisters? HAR. HAR. HAR.
“Dripping with fragility” - wow - that took my breath away for a moment - it really IS about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. And not only for writing, but all the ways we put ourselves out there - from dating after a breakup to applying for a new job to meeting new people. Sometimes it feels easier to hide but then we don’t get to grow and find a way to bloom. You are BRAVE and I appreciate you sharing ALL of this. KEEP GOING!
Yessssss! Not just for writing, but yes! All the new and scary things that in the end (or, really, actually, from the unseen beginning) are the wonderful, soul-filling things. Thank YOU for sharing this with ME. (It was so great to see you yesterday. Such good convos. You always inspire me.)
Totally relate to this! The way those dopamine hits come are tooooootally addictive. And, the lack of them doesn’t mean diddly squat about your brilliance. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
