✱ The fear of being seen
More often than less, I've been feeling like Ashley lately.
Although I know I have something to stay, still:
So I’m writing this post—not as a declaration that I’m going to blog every day (I probably won’t), or that I have a new master plan (I don’t). I’m writing it as a gentle reentry. A reminder to myself that taking up space, even imperfectly, is still worth doing.
And if you’re reading this and nodding along, just know: you’re not alone. You don’t have to write every day. You don’t have to have the hottest take. You don’t have to prove anything. You just have to be real. That’s enough.
I’m starting here. And if you’re trying to find your way back to something too, I hope you’ll start with me.
