“Why do I live in this purgatory of my own making?” Oh boy, that’s a whole question, Meghan. My answer to that question is so layered and complex, with so much of my creative work needing every ounce of courage and effort I can muster to just get it out of me. Thank you for the vulnerability and wisdom you’ve shared - it feels like a wonderful permission slip in the midst of it all. 🫶🏻

That’s just it!! A permission slip against the trap made for myself. A little bit of— I got myself here, so now I must get myself out 😊

So much to hold onto in here Meg. #5 is definitely for me - it’s something I have to remind myself of quite a bit. Just tonight I was talking about feeling scared about the process of doing things unfamiliar, so your timing is 👌🏾

Thank you for sharing sis. Compassion for you and for me, indeed. 🙏🏾🖤

I feel so much gratitude for your vulnerability on this topic - it felt like you were describing my own experience! I break out into a cold sweat every single time I hit publish on an article. I spend so much time *thinking* about writing rather than writing. Thanks for this push!
