[On writing - a thread]
This hit a little too close to home.

I love writing. I love how naturally my pen flows on paper, I love how I spend hours of research on one nitty gritty detail, and I love having people read my work.

But there are also things I dare not put into words. I am afraid of entering that rabbit hole where I relive my emotions and experiences - and having no one who understands or can pull me out. And therefore I have avoided writing too descriptively about specific emotions.

At the same time I understand that to be a good writer I& #39;ve got to be able to write about my deepest emotions and fears - and that is a barrier I& #39;ve got to cross.

I& #39;m not saying that I& #39;ve gone through an especially traumatic experience (I pray I never have to) - I& #39;m beyond blessed.

When I was a kid, I used to be able to amplify my emotions and express them down on paper. As a (new) adult, it is scary to do the same.
Why? I& #39;m not sure.

In hindsight, there probably wasn& #39;t a huge point to this thread - I just wanted to express how this post resonated deeply with me.

And probably to see if anyone feels the same too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">
