Fair. I think a version of this exists for a lot of people whether the purity thing factors for them. Creativity is messy! I appreciate the observation that when you’re in a black/white space, it makes it hard to make something new
How did I miss this when it published? Maybe I just needed to see it now. Resonates so deeply. Interesting that I've dragged my rusty voice to Substack as I've begun to come back from an extended silence, too.
Me, but my entire 20’s and 30’s? And part of my 40’s? Thank you for writing about this stuck feeling. I’m sorry you experienced it and so happy you are through it. The world needs your words, I need them. This moved something in me today. Thank you for sharing where you’ve been and where you are going. X
