“I’m bored of the fear-based thoughts I experience sometimes when writing (or, more often, in the times when I’m not writing but thinking about writing): worrying about the perception of my writing, of what people will think, mostly. It’s old news to me now— I want to be seriously devoted to my writing and my storytelling, a devotion that can overpower insecurity. And I think I can only confidently be devoted if I am constantly examining the self and the selves tucked inside of me like a stacking doll.”

this is IT!!! Halfway through reading I realized I had this little smile on my face lol. Just so proud of you and I love your insights about what true “celebration” is. The quiet moments of connection with something greater than ourselves (ancestral communion in your case—like WOW so powerful) is such a potent, rewarding, magical thing ✨ I’m so excited to see what comes next!!
