This is quite amusing... because you write with exceptional quality, Jules... how you don't see that I have no idea! !LOLZ And I am a huge admirer of your writing 💗 It speaks to my soul.
In the end "comparison is the thief of joy"... or so I've heard hehe. But it is so hard when you are trying to hone your own craft, isn't it... I will write something then I have to go curate... and I'm like...geez the incredible talent out there blows my mind all the time... and then I think about my own writing and I'm like...hm... I could have done this better or that better in my pieces... ... and true story? we never feel that we measure up 😂 But for me, it's about being inspired by the writing of others; inspired and motivated to dig deeper and write better. For this story, I tightened up a fair bit in the edits, and I'm glad I did... it wasn't overly fluffed out or anything... but I shortened sentences. Left out superfluous words. I'm sure I could still refine more with a professional set of eyes on it... and I'm already seeing ways in which I could have delivered a better more well-rounded punch to the ending, tying things back to some earlier mentions! But I'll keep learning and growing, enjoying other writers around me and bouncing off their polished efforts hehe... we can enjoy the journey together💗
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
(6/10) gave you LUV.
