a pipe, a pub, and ponderance

blog bless this caption:

"a year ago, i’d have written more words, tried to please, performed for an audience — but no longer. i share on my own terms. i keep it short and direct. i don't second-guess. after years of feeling like an npc, i’m ready to become the main character.

my body carries a mind pulverized and made anew. you’d be forgiven if you thought you were talking to the same person."

Summarize. Me.

Mind if I give some silly advice? Try not to bother thinking about what other people *might* think about your writing or if they ever end up reading it in the first place. More often than not, those worries are unjustified. Take it easy, despite the hardships you have faced, so far!
