The title is a little dramatic, “failure” is a strong word. But I am returning to something I had given up on. This time it feels different, it feels right. It feels less dark and less tied to my self worth. I’m talking about my writing, I used to write, like a lot. I spent… Continue reading Recovering From Failure
