Wow thanks so much for this- I can relate to this battle with self, and this struggle with who you are and what you’re doing. A similar struggle comes out in mine too- I will post this on the Instagram if you’re okay with that
Hi Njaay! Thank you so much!! And wow thanks for your response! Is this your response to the prompt and do you want me to post it on the Instagram page?
I find myself repeatedly drawn to the honesty in your writing. I was visibly excited to see that inktippeddreams is alive on Substack. I’m happy you’re back and I wish you the best. 😊
Thank you for your kind words, Naomi! Means a lot! I’m also happy to see you have a page here- “Ramblings & Recollections” - looking forward to seeing your posts!
I run from myself
And why I run is still unclear
But come day break, I’ll find myself
Scissors in hand, foot on the pedal
Because I do not know who I am if I do not make.
So inevitably, I run to myself
Allow my hands get busy with familiar motion
My mind absent from a sequence it practiced when my body wasn’t ready
But still very present
Present in unfinished conversations, in conversations yet to happen
Completing thoughts earlier ignored, dreaming wide awake
When the dream is done, I will run again
Because I also do not know who I am if I stay.

Let me know your handle!

Welcome back inktippeddreams!
It has surly been alot of battles
With self doubt,
Battles with being enough,
Being seen,
Being heard,
Being Perfect
Even though we know perfect sometimes is an illusion or that's what I think it is!
But, it's not easy getting yourself to a space where you don't want perfection to be how you are percieved
It's always a battle, and feels like there's always someone to prove something to
It keeps coming back
Wanting to be seen
Wanting to be heard
Wanting to be enough !
