Wow, another one that speaks to my soul! Just found your work today…as a fellow deep thinker I appreciate every word and can feel it coming off of the page. I struggle to articulate my deep thinking, you are validating! I’m an artist, I’m a baker, I love doing flowers, I’m a full time mom/wife (facing a new reality of my daughter and best friend heading off to college in a few short months) and known as the village caretaker to my friends. I’ve lost child, written a protocol to take care of other loss families. A book may come someday….Your words are helping me to be brave in wanting so badly to show up as my authentic self and to do what I naturally do by caring for other people. Thank you!
The struggle to doubt is real! I continually remind myself I write for ME first. That's why I'm here. And I hope it gives light to others in the process, but I can't hang on to that... it's too much. I want to honor the paid subscribers that I have and give them authentic thoughts from my heart, but also holding bigger expectations in the background. It's a challenge to be a writer and put your work out there and not sure if it means anything! But it's worth it. It is. Thank you for sharing.

All we can do is keep on writing
Thanks for the reminder Jon. I'm personally a very rushed person. I try and complete every task as quickly as I can so I can move onto the next thing.
But then I realise my jaw is clenched and my neck is all tight.
And so I begin to wash the dishes for the sake of washing them. Or reading a book just for the sake of reading it, not to take notes.
And I will remind myself when I write to just write for the sake of it.
Thanks bro
Anytime Eren. I've got to remind myself all the time as well — do it for the love, and all that extra anxiety melts away.
