First, I need to ask you to please stop reading my journal. 😆
Seriously, I relate on so many levels. I literally wrote something similar-ish in my journal yesterday, asking “what would you have me do?” Not just with my writing, but that is part of it…I’ve always known this is what I’m Supposed To Do, so it’s hard to accept the crickets that often respond to my work. Logically, I know I need to be patient, but emotionally…it still hurts.
I’ve also been hesitant to write about believing in God…as a queer liberal writer, I find myself in a lot of spaces where that is not only uncommon, but sometimes openly ridiculed…so I get it. But my Substack is all about being as honest and vulnerable as possible with my truth, so…I’m not going to be able to avoid it forever. It’s too big a part of my life.
This is everything - thank you so much for sharing this with me! Yes, oh yes 'What would you have me do?' How nice it is to know over here in our little corner, asking big questions, seeking guidance, feeling alone in looking up, we bump into each other. That has made my day. Thank you, and keep writing too. You have a bright light that helps keep many places bright. xx
