"Part of the act of writing is abandonment" ... ooo I love this whole piece! Thank you for sharing this, and I absolutely love the voiceover. You are a very poetic individual! I love the idea of how you can reveal yourself in fiction the most.

Please never stop writing it is so poetic and beautiful. I can relate so much when you said that you revealed more of yourself in fiction than non fiction. I feel the same in my paintings, they reveal parts of me and what I am longing for , more than any self portrait I tried. There is something about the safety of the abstract. But even in painting the color we chose, the composition each reveal something unspoken about ourselves and feelings in that moment while painting it.

This is very true. Life is what we make of it. Once we understand it, it's easier to take the hardships life might throw at us

This is what I mean when I say, "I'm not a real writer." I don't consider any of this. Your relationship with writing is so complex in ways I simply cannot grasp. So it was really interesting to read your perspective on your own skill and motivations.

Saving it so I can revisit and relive everything I felt while reading it. I can picture myself asking these questions. Beautifully written.
