I relate to ALL OF THIS! Even down to the journaling as if someone might read it. I just made my substack account last week and an instagram to FINALLY start sharing stuff. Its so so scary. Thank u for sharing!! Its as if i was reading my own thoughts

I recently fell down a hole of trying to "niche" down and write about things that were popular. And even when I wrote about myself, I was censoring portions of myself to seem more professional than what I actually was. Of course this led me to having what I thought was writers block, but what was really me blocking myself from what made me passionate about writing in the first place. Thank you for reminding how important it is to be vulnerable when writing.
