'I needed a vessel I could pour myself into and then see myself hold shape; at the same time, I feared feeling constricted, the way pre-printed lines on a page had always made me feel.'

A beautiful essay about how important it is for writers to have a space to practice without being concerned with what it says about you. To truly be yourself in your work, to fall in love with it, & to let it transform you.

“So when I wrote about my own thoughts so nakedly, I felt only a deep sense of pressure at the top of my spine: the shame of self-indulgence. It was me, now, who judged; me who saw no point in the hassle of marking with such intensity life’s daily little slights.”
