reading about little humans from the past, especially when theyβre the ones writing about themselves and i can see how their struggles are so similar to mine. finding those connections with others and their lived experience is what helps me the most understand what being human is about.
im no pro, but whatβs helped me is reading as often as i can (fiction or no-fiction, any form) and then comparing my writing to the things i like reading but making sure not to do it in a self-hating way but a constructive way
