Thank you for writing this beautiful and vulnerable piece - it really resonates. I left my safe secure but all consuming job to write full time, and I feel like I'm trying to succeed beneath the eyes of everyone who knows that's why I left the job! My hope is laid out bare.
Oh, thank you for putting this feeling beautifully into words. I have hesitated my whole life to tell people about the hopes I have because every time I did before, I felt that I have stripped of something that is very dear to me and they don't even like what they see. It is like coming to a show & tell, and not even the teacher gives a nod to what you are showing to the class.
I love your notes! This post is beautifully written. I really enjoyed reading it, I've experienced these feelings in some way or version of these experiences before.
I share and sometimes overshare, haven't really identified why or what makes me. I've recently started practicing restraint and keeping some things to myself. Have been enjoying that.
I don't know if thats because it has taken the pressure off me or maybe I'm enjoying the process of discovering what I like for my self. It's interesting.
I've been disappointed before, post sharing... By reactions, lack of enthusiasm or interest. This seems to give me back some power perhaps and the belief that perhaps I'm mysterious :)
Please don’t worry if people will like your work because it is you and your soul in words! Never can be a failure while opening yourself up and allowing the thoughts and feelings pour out. Sure some may scoff or ridicule but they are the small minded ones and you are better than them. Expressing ourselves opens us up to personal satisfaction. This feeling is worth it all!

All the best Delphine! Hope the fact others know doesn't stop you or create unwanted pressure. Rooting for you!
Thank you so much!

The world needs you. Thank you
You said what is in my heart. I know exactly what you mean. My dreams stay close to heart. Beautifully written.

Same. ❤️
This was so beautiful and relevant. Thank you for sharing 🩷 it's okay to protect something at its most vulnerable stage too!
