a post about second-guessing your voice, deleting drafts, doom-scrolling other people’s writing, and still showing up to say what you needed to say anyway.
Such a relatable feeling I caught myself editing my personal journal because “what if someone reads this.” If you can’t be vulnerable with yourself, how can you be vulnerable at all?
Oooo I feel this!! Thank you for sharing, I get caught up on how I express thoughts as well. I told myself as long as I feel like I'm honoring the past versions of myself I didn't love with care and compassion then I need to post it. Regardless if someone acknowledges it or not. I'm doing it for ME.
thank you for being so open and vulnerable about this chyna, a super valid and common experience!! permanently editing your life to make it seem free of error is so stressful and eventually will chip away at your identity and confidence. i recently wrote about the topic of everybody succeeding but nobody trying, in case that resonates with you 💌 loved this read altogether! also loooove tyler
"editing one draft is never just one thing. it’s three different versions mashed together because i had too many thoughts at once, and now i can’t even remember what my original point was. " This resonated because it happens to me a lot to, and I think "I started writing one post, but now I have three, like a buy-one-get-two"
yes i was being vulnerable in one of my posts and wanting to delete it so bad. eventually i just decided to convert it to paid. doing that made me realize i need to be vulnerable more in my personal space. that’s one of my goals for december
“because maybe my posts aren’t meant to last forever. maybe they’re created for the version of me that needed to release something. if someone else relates, cool. if not, it still did what it needed to do.”.. yes and yes. I felt all of this.. i struggle with all these feelings about my writing as well.. but for now my writing needs to be for me first and in that lane it does what is needed.. slowly getting more and more okay this truth.. thank you for laying it bare 🙏🏾🖤
