Sending love to you as you struggle with this. I’ve been dealing with something like this since 2020, and I’m still not sure when I’ll emerge. Fingers crossed 💛💛
I think a crucial element to working through it is granting ourselves grace, and I suspect we have the same kind of work ethic and expectations that do not always allow room for that, Morgan! May we be gentle with ourselves. I have faith that we will both see the other side :) <3
Life changes people, shapes us by what we go through, what we learn. I am not the same person I was a trauma ago, or the trauma before that, or before that. Writing grows and evolves and reflects, and that's okay. Although in terms of being a writer I am a nobody, I did once write and I also went through this. It's so shattering and sad. Inside I am still a writer, words have a power over me and I love to weave them. But I haven't written for a very long time. And that's okay, I'm allowing myself this, no pressure, when it begins again it will.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope that you will find peace with it and see this as just tiny fractured moment of something much bigger. It's not forever. Indeed: how could you not. 💖
I went through this recently as well, so I understand this pain! But the eventual rediscovery feels really, really great. Hoping your words flood back, and I'm always excited to read them 💜💜
My favorite quote from the Max Payne series was from the first game, which is set around Christmas: “I don’t know about Angels, but it’s fear that gives men wings.”

Your comment is a really beautiful reminder of the grace we all need to grant ourselves and I bet I'm not the only person it's going to help. ✨

Thank you! That is so kind--and that you're on the other side of it yourself is very heartening to me so I'm glad you shared :)
