I felt all of this to my very core. I, too, have always considered myself a creative. An artist. A writer. But life happens and you sometimes forget that part of you ever existed. Thank you for all of this, Hayes. You just always know exactly what to say :)
"Stop demanding your writing be charming when it hasn't seen the light of day in years. Words are just like us: They'll never step out if they think they’re going to be judged when they open the door. They need to be welcomed with their knotty hair and bloodshot eyes, and only when you meet them with a smile and a comb will they start cleaning themselves up on their own." - this made me tear up, I really needed to hear that too. Thank you Hayes <3 this one was very close to my heart

That part of you is ALWAYS there. Sometimes she just needs a little a rest. I'm proud of you and appreciate you Samantha <3

So grateful I encountered this right now. Thank you x
