I feel this way about my art and my content, and a new IG page I opened up recently to have fun and share things with the world. Like you, I too am struggling to find my voice, my style and constantly stop doing the work because of perfectionism. I feel less alone, and I can relate to you. Thank you for sharing this piece. A reminder, even for me, that sharing imperfect things can have an impact and can help someone. It doesnt have to be perfect to be useful or valuable.
Thank you so much for reading, Ash! Glad I’m not alone in feeling this way. Sometimes imperfect can be of even greater value than perfect, I’ve come to learn. Wish you all the best on sharing your art and content!
Carina, write what moves you, when it moves you. Share a joke that made you snort water, a horrific tale that occurred when you stepped on a shard of glass, or anything else that made words coalesce in your imagination. The ones who need to find you will gather.
Michelle, I'm SO happy to hear this!!! Of course not that you're in a similar place, but that we're in this together. And I feel the same, getting all these notifications hahaha. Good luck. Embrace the whatever. Or the nevertheless. Bye.
also a funny thing: i haven't posted in a month, which was my plan, but now it's the month mark and i'm like AAAAH IHAVE TO POST!!! and then today i got three separate email notifications for three separate substacks i am subscribed to and i was like OH NO EVERYONE IS BEATING ME TO IT.

Beabadobee sold me on the mixtape. And I know what this feels like. Or whatever I mean by that.
