Thanks for this Lisa. Yes, I do experience what you mentioned, craving external validation, or internal validation maybe more so.. I mean I'm hard on myself when I can't get enough done., or do as much as I could pre-covid. But it has become manageable. You are right. You are enough, we are enough. I know you may not need external validation, but you are an excellent writer. You open yourself up, and clearly point out things many of us are also experiencing, but may not be able to as easily define. Next time you hit that publish button, know that's it's enough. : )
I totally identify with the feeling you write about. I've been writing for over a year and feel reluctant to read back over my earlier writing as I'm convinced I'll find it's no good. So thank you for sharing your story with us.
Thank you for pushing past the jagged margin every week with us. Your words and experiences continue to be right on time for me. ♥️
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement! Words like this help keep me going!

A fellow writer! Thank you for sharing how this resonated with you, and if you ever want to share something you've written, I'm here!
Thank you. I follow a number of newsletters about COvid-19 (and other topics) as I believe writers should support each other.
I would like your posts a thousand times Lisa, thank you 💓 you always have right words!
