"I'm not the next Joan Didion, and I'm okay with that. [...] I'm the first of me, but to my own surprise, it's much more difficult to come to terms with that."
Every word I write is a victory over my impostor syndrome. It's always telling me my writing should be different. Less like me, more like other, much more successful online writers. Seeing how many of those writers aspire to be like Joan Didion, I felt like I was doing something wrong in not wanting to be like her. My doubts and fears about (not) being like Didion turned into a Substack post that struck a chord with others, and myself. For once, I was proud of something I'd written. I hope you'll give it a chance and a read too 🖤

Something about the fact that I’ll read one of the articles and realise someone already went to the things I’m going through l. That human existence share the same feelings of joy, sadness and anxieties. It’s comforting to know that there’s people out there who knows exactly how I feel, I shouldn’t be so humiliated at my own feelings and emotions because they really do make me into who I am

If I’m gonna doomscroll, Substack gotta be the best app do to so. I love finding and subscribing to random people that talk about topics I’m interested in.
This article talks about the importance of acting out of sudden inspiration rather than at the “perfect time”.
Unfortunately, I do this often. There’s always something I’m not ready for, knowledgeable enough for, capable of, etc.
Her perspective felt really different to me because usually the articles I read on Substack are about an inherent indifference towards something in the author’s life (their personality, the patriarchy, their phones) and this wasn’t that.
She basically tells you to—in the words of Kim Kardashian—get your fucking ass up and work. Which I certainly have become way to comfortable not doing.
Highly recommend for all the bed rotting divas out there. We gotta punch the clock cause it’s time to work!
