So many great thoughts in this piece, Lisa! Loved it. Regarding journalling, I was recently at a friend's house who has dozens, possibly hundreds of journals on her shelf. She journals all the time. Like you, I hate the idea of someone reading through them after my death, and finding out all these thoughts I had about all sorts of things that might upset them, because thoughts come and go, but once they're on paper... eeek! If I do write stuff down because I need to work through it, I scribble in my worst possible scribble to make it illegible to anyone but myself.
Sending you a hug and a lot of admiration for this piece,
I started typing out the thoughts, which I actually wouldn't recommend because there's too much opportunity for editing and then you start self-censoring. But the great thing about typing is you can get it all out and then *delete*. I suppose you can always throw away your page (I do this too).
Another incredible work of art you have just shared. This jumped out at me, for I too have this guilty pleasure "I have a strange relationship with self-help books, in that I consume them voraciously but ultimately they change nothing about my life."
I can't help myself! The idea of a cure-all will never stop being appealing to humans. This is how everyone is making money on TikTok these days. Good for them.
Also, very inspired by your screenwriting journey, I’m learning the basics right now and it’s been a fun process…I’ve just got so many ideas and want to bring them to life
Yeah you have to lean into your 'superpower'. Thelonious Monk said a genius is most like themselves. In my 20s my girlfriend was a dancer, so I often read magazines that were outside my songwriting lane. In one the choreographer George Balanchine said "I know myself only as dancer". That idea is like rocket fuel!
