social gatherings & new people asking you questions always puts me into spirals .. so much actually that my stomach twisted by only reading this lol. it’s a big challenge and brave act to say you’re an artist, i totally feel you. i don’t even know why it is so, cause really we’re cancelling ourselves a little each time we refuse to say it. anyways, i was very excited to read this when you shared it!! keep writing, i wanna keep reading :)

I loved this! From one Mary Oliver girly to another the name of your podcast was what drew me to you and the content and thoughtfulness cemented it. Thank you for sharing, I have come to realise poetry is my my niche of writing that I don’t berate and compare myself about rather than essays or articles and it feels so good to sit down and write a poem and LIKE IT at the end and feel hopeful about getting better rather than not posting an essay bc someone has already written it better than me - so this essay resonated with me

i love the section on bad art as rebellion!!! i think we owe it to ourselves to be creative for the thrill of it rather than letting perfectionism hold us back!
