RE: The Girl in the Mirror (dreem-wotw & the Ink Well #80)

We can and we are. 🤗 The journey of writers learning the craft with no end in sight. It's an awesome thrill. And you are right, "comparison is the thief of joy" lol, but I still fall into its trap from time to time. Just as I let self-doubt creep in unnoticed and take root.

Thankfully, I have become better at noticing - both of them. Being here, on this journey, with the kindest of souls is helping. It makes me care less about the doubts, and care more about showing up.

Dreemport & dreem-wotw are like my fuel. If I keep filling up on them, and by them, I mean this journey, this amazing experience, then, like you, I will only enjoy the inspiration I take from others and let go of the hands of comparison & doubt who have been long-term companions of mine but never friends.

But, most importantly, you told me my words had "got [you] emotional 😭" so I thought, perhaps a joke might help. A bad "mom" joke from yours truly to make you a different kind of emotional. 😀

Love you 💛

Chuckling at the mom joke... and yeah... we are all in that space of self-doubt from time to time... but we get through with the support of those around us...

love you too, Jules 💗 !LUV
