omg thank you! i honestly never expected anyone to read any of my work lol, but i'm glad it resonated :)
a fellow academic writer! academic and creative writing are so different, aren't they... it's so difficult to juggle between those two tones, and i'm glad that you're giving yourself a space to be free when you write. you're right- time really does make everything fine. maybe time will make you feel more confident in sharing your stories with the world. ☺
i Totally understand the feeling of hating what you write. was putting up a few writing pages and physically cringed at my 2022 pieces.. it's hard, but disliking what we write is often part of the process. wishing you the ability to see what you want to improve & feel proud of yourself instead of upset you aren't perfect :]
Woah, your words paint such a scenic picture filled with so many different emotions. I wish I could ride in the car with you, see the dew.
@vashti I so badly wish I could take a picture of it, but its also a very narrow road with a dropoff on either side so stopping or pulling over isn't an option :( I wish everyone could see it
