im so so sorry you’re experiencing that, you deserve none of it and im really proud of you for sharing your art! it takes so much courage to share the most vulnerable parts of ourselves on a platform that can (and clearly did) reach millions. i hope that you keep sharing, and never forget that this platform is always a safe place to share stuff :) i’m almost done reading Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet, and I found this piece encapsulates the plight of perfectionism and the desire to write really well - I should say that this is more prose than poetry but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless

finished reading this like 2 weeks ago, PI.BKCLB read it a few months ago but i was waiting to get my hands on a physical copy. very worth the wait! a challenging read, some of it def went over my head but has such interesting things to say about creation, mortality and god.

I’m waiting for my triumphant return to school in January, till then I am CHILLING. Right now I’m almost done One Hundred Years of Solitude and Gabor Maté (my love)‘s Hungry Ghosts. One Hundred Years has me conflicted—although I can appreciate it’s patient meditation on the cyclical nature of capitalism, it’s pacing is emotionally nonlinear, and paired with the six generations of all too similar names, it’s been a tedious venture so far. Conversely, I was enthralled by the first half of Hungry Ghosts so much that I went back and highlighted all the lines that struck me, and now I’ve got just shy of a hundred pages left. As an addict I’m indebted to his compassion, research, prose, and those adorable cheek bones

giving yourself permission to create without pressure. it doesn't always have to be good, it doesn't always have to be posted. it can simply just be made. pressure and fear ruins potential

I have come to realize life is all about the meaningful connections we create and nurture. Life is about loving, and being loved.
