oh andrew, the amount of times i have just sobbed at my computer during/after writing!! so many. I'm with you. it's beautiful and it's exhausting, but it definitely gets stagnant energy moving. your mention of my post here (which I am so grateful for) made me realize that I don't think I've dreamt about my middle school crush since publishing that piece!! maybe it's another example of the writing healing something :) (though I still dream of machine gun kelly so, so much, lol). Have fun tonight!! <3
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment!! 🦋it’s true, I knew other writers would understand the emotional intensity we go through. Your story about the dream gives me hope! 🩷🩷
Thank you so much for mentioning my piece!! You are amazing!
Totally feel you on feeling spent after writing. Writing about experiences, especially bad ones, means we have to relive them in a way. It's like putting ourselves exactly where we were (mentally and sometimes even physically) so we can fully get everything on the page and out of our heads. A double edged sword, I'd say!
For sure!! I think the aftermath is just very very hard! In all honesty I partly chose the night theme because your piece and also the others just made me happy. But I couldn’t summon up the energy to write something happy myself. 🩷🩷thanks for helping me out🩷🩷
