Because it seems impossible not to
Because at least i will remember what i had to say
Because i am so very afraid of someone reading what i have written
Because the world has enough “unsuccessful” artists wallowing in insecurity, waiting endlessly for unobtainable perfection before they “enter the world.” You are already in the world. You have always been in the world. There is nothing but the world. Be in it.
Because we have so much awfulness to get through
Because silence is deadly
Because more is not worse
Because math
Because it’s not impossible that I might actually be nearly as clever, almost as acute and expressive, as I expect a good writer to be
Because there’s only one way to find out
(2021)

Ha, the part about waiting for perfection is so true. More and more, I’m learning that I should create instead of overthink the perfect piece, and this was a timely reminder for that. Thanks for sharing!

It’s been a wild few years since I wrote this, for sure. You really do have to trust the process, as they say. Thanks for reading!
