i sometimes imagine what I’m writing isn’t me, that it’s someone somewhere else and that there’re telling me their emotions and vulnerability. I use to think I can never be that vulnerable, almost pitiful?
I admire you for being so vulnerable in your writing and it’s the quality that drew me towards it in the first place. I have a hard time doing the same - feeling like I’m giving away too much of myself if I share too much. But I’m a very skeptical and guarded person in real life.
Thank you love! I agree though I refuse to be too vulnerable I’ll write in such complex ways it’s difficult even for me to figure out where inspiration starts and where self ends lol
Also I do find it difficult to be vulnerable in my writings, especially as someone who is so scared of being percieved, but I find it easier for me to write about myself in poems rather than prose or essays
That’s so interesting! I can’t ever seem to explicitly write about myself ever, and post it atleast. If I do write it I never seem to be able to read it lol
As someone who started off writing poetry, I was always taught to be vulnerable with my writing. And for the most part, I am. But I still have a long way to go in overcoming the shame of being an open book. It's so hard being vulnerable, especially in today's nonchalance epidemic! Loved this btw <3
Somehow I find it easy to be vulnerable just because I long for a place where to put all the desperation that laces most of my actions, so I do it here lmfao
Honestly, I love that. If it works it works I do not think vulnerability should ever be perceived as a weakness, shows how little you apologise for in terms of your own desires etc
“it’s so much easier to live in familiar misery than unknown progression” This! OMG it’s so hard to remain optimistic for a goal with no direction and familiarity is hard to beat. I think trusting Allah to know there is some hope and simply working towards pleasing Him makes that uncertainty a little easier to manage.
As for vulnerability in writing, I agree, I find it hard to be vulnerable as well. Mostly because I struggle to express my emotions. But I think there is a great deal of self-discovery and intimacy to be had with oneself by being vulnerable. And I am trying to be more expressive at least in my journal.

I actually resonate with that a lot
Do I not have one unique feeling 🧍🏽♂️
The human experience is a shared one, there there 🫂
