I thought of what to write in today’s diary and nothing came.
What’s funny is — I have a billion unfinished things in my diary:
Thoughts like;
“I hope I’m being personal enough”
“I hope I’m not coming off as an expert”
“I hope I’m giving a reading experience you can’t find elsewhere”
“I hope you’re not going to unsubscribe soon”
“I hope you’ll share this our little secret diary with a friend and gist about its content”
“I hope more people will subscribe to this and make me more internet friends”
“I hope it doesn’t look like I’m teaching anything”
“I hope I’m not being seen as aspaya-to-paspaya” - (God forbid! let me know if this ever happens)
And this last one, which is the most crippling one of all the voices in my head.
“What do you think of me” — (as in, what does anyone like YOU reading my stuff think?)
Let’s pretend your bestie asks you about me — what would you tell them?
