> At the same time, the view you have of yourself is ruining it too. You are constantly devaluing and putting down your past selves and what they created. You dismiss your own writing as yapping, rambling, trash. You think it’s old, it’s cringe, it’s embarrassing, it’s not deep enough, no one cares about it, it doesn’t reflect your mental space 2 weeks later, so you burn it all down. You reinvent yourself over and over like an act of shame. Believe me, your stuff is great, and if you don’t become comfortable with sitting with old thoughts that aren’t how you currently feel, you’ll repeat this no matter what tool you use.
