writing motion, 1.24.25

as discouraging as this creative journey can be, lately i’ve had some moments of encouragement. i’ve been having a few more comments on my tiktok and even some messages on instagram. the likes and views may not be where i want them to be, but as long as the writing is resonating with someone, it makes me feel good! i have to remind myself, no matter how bad it gets, i cannot quit. i must force myself to carry on even if the burden feels insurmountable. slowly, i can feel it paying off, but i know there will be plenty of nights where it feels i’m doing this to no avail.

i hope to my future self when you read this that you can look back and say we got to where we wanted to get, maybe even further than we had originally expected.

fingers crossed.
