It feels vulnerable putting work that I know isn’t great out there. And I’m here to say (to myself) that it’s okay. I think we should share anyway. This is the best place I know to experiment and play. And I’m going to trust that fellow Wrizzlers understand and that we are on this writing adventure together.

right? writing should be fun and cathartic, not curated for other people

A recent post of yours was such a good reminder of this!

I will also say it to myself and yourself. Seems the thing to kick out of the mind is any concern of if it is great or not great in the first place. It's something you made and it is where it is, turned out the way it turned out at any given time/space/set of circumstances. Probably wouldn't be realistic to expect the ultimate liberation overnight, but something to set out for. Totally understand all you said here. In the same boat. Or a very similar boat.

Haha, absolutely! I think we are also our own worst critics—when I read others, I don’t set out a scale and begin weighing. The thought seems silly. So why do it to ourselves?

Well just by venturing into the idea of how great or not great anything might or might not be, we have to ask by whose standards anyway. One might do well to have fun for oneself and if someone out there enjoys it for whatever reasons, all the better (easier said than done I know, sometimes, or often).

That's been one of my biggest fears about sharing poetry. It's all very much Me, but what if it's not "good enough"? I'm not okay with showing vulnerability. Having a place like this to do it is a healing experience.
