Thank you so much! It really means a lot to know that it made you feel better about your writing
What’s really helped me with what you’re describing is reading Emerson. If you’re into the philosopher-esque stuff, maybe check out his essay “Self-Reliance.” (Haha or anything else by him; he’s probably my favorite writer ever, and he keeps to a lot of the same themes.)
I’m glad to hear you’re writing again! Keep it up! 🙂
