i feel the same way, sometimes even by you, which i think shows that it always appears greener on the other side

this is incredible. i wanted to highlight so many different quotes of yours because i struggle in so many of the same ways. i wish writing flowed out of me like it does others. the jealous is always there. thank you for sharing ❤️

"I struggle even to articulate my process when others ask me how I write, how I manage to pull together the pieces of every project I’m immersed in. There is no chic way of telling someone that it is a death grip. That I have my teeth around every word’s neck and they, in turn, have dug their teeth into me.

How do you think of this? I don’t, it thinks of me. Then, I lose all dignity." this is so relatable I swear half the time I am doing some longer form creative art I enter a manic episode bc it just consumes me until I finish.

and yeah I also relate to being exhausted by the process of trying to get noticed. but then again I am also very averse to self-promotion and avoid it as much as possible 😂🫣
