Sometimes I feel this way still. Sometimes I feel that maybe my words do not have a place here. It’s interesting how we can get in our heads, make ourselves believe things.
Yes definitely Kristin. But hopefully it helps us all to see the truth. Your writing is amazing and though I know you struggle sometimes with the sheer weight behind your words and what it took to get here, there is no question you belong here. Just like @Seajade, your voice is solely your own and no one else could write what you do. And it absolutely helps others. Thanks for calling that out a little😉
Well, I know I find a lot of meaning, resonance, and common ground in your words. I’ve also seen from your comments I’m not the only one🤪 and we’re just the ones who comment so… I’d say yes, most definitely.
having similar doubts often, fighting them off isn’t much fun is it and I doubt that we’re alone in that, sounds like you have much to focus on. have no doubts, none, that you and your words are valued and appreciated here and good luck with your future career path too…😊
So true, Sea. I doubt I’ll ever reach some magic place where it disappears; it always shows up most when something really matters. But I think there’s growth in naming it and moving forward anyway. Your perspective and the way you frame your work give it such depth and weight, it doesn’t surprise me this struck a chord. Your words always carry such grace. I truly love them. 💜
This struck me because it feels like you’ve put words to the private noise we all wrestle with but rarely admit. Doubt has a way of convincing us that silence is safer than showing up, and yet here you are - speaking anyway, writing anyway. That in itself is proof that your words matter!
You’re right, but those pesky fears still like to tap dance on my soul sometimes. I think I’m not alone in that. I’m also very fortunate to find myself in such good company💜 Thanks, my friend!
Sometimes I find that speaking (or writing) into the void releases the tangle in my brain; even if no one reads my words, they are better out than in.
Oh I agree! Even when no one was reading my work, I still felt driven and this was a large part of that feeling.
I completely understand the feelings of self-doubt you mention, I often feel similar.
I'm happy you're here and writing though. 😊
Thanks Carlos! I’m glad to be here and know some pretty outstanding people💜

Thank you for saying that . I certainly wonder if I’m doing anything by exposing myself like I am. 💜
