You make a very good point! I’ve shared a particular post with friends and family but I get hives thinking they will read everything because I want to be as truthful with my posts and that feels easier to do when I know they’re not reading …
Right! I'm so there with you. Having my partner, my sisters, my parents, etc read anything of mine is always, always the most dread-inducing. Yet I want them to? Or at least show some curiosity/interest? Yet I realize how unfair those expectations are for everyone, especially if I'm most afraid of their feelings. Definitely something we have to constantly negotiate.
I'm so excited to meet Amy The Writer!!

Haha yes I get the mixed feelings. It’s scary putting ourselves out there but so satisfying to speak our truth.
Such a tricky line to draw sometimes! But agree, it really is the only way to stay sane, even if the line gets sometimes squiggly.
You’re on fire scoping out some of my writing today, Jack! I’m honored, seriously 🙏
