“i have lost faith in my writing & photographic abilities”

funny because when I feel something similar, I gotten into the habit of going to my feedreader hoping to see a post from you because your words and images inspire me. know that when the doubt creeps in and takes up camp.

Hi leonie,
Your post really resonated with me! Perhaps it’s like ‘Face Week’ in Unravelling where you look back at old photos of yourself and think ‘But I was beautiful/young/happy- why couldn’t I see that at the time?’ I guess what I’m saying is you may look back on this period of your life and think ‘Actually, I was there, I just didn’t realise it yet’. Does that make sense?
I hope you’re feeling better now. I really admire what you’re doing.

I have not read your blog before. Imagine my shock when I read your post which could have been written by me nearly word for word. Especially today, when earlier I was thinking these same thoughts. Obviously I was meant to be shown that I am not alone, feeling this way. I wish there were something I could do back for you for giving me this timely gift, somehow help you feel better. Thank you.

Gosh, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve felt this way… or even a nickel for every unfinished project I’ve started… or a nickel for every time I’ve wondered “what else?” or “What can I do with my life?” The closest I come to religion is that everything happens for a reason, it doesn’t always make sense, but there is some cosmic reason we feel the way we do, choose the paths we do, live the lives we do. Sometimes you have to stop trying to figure it out and just let it happen. Go with it, and believe in yourself. (ooops, that last almost rang up as a platitude, didn’t it?)

oh beautiful you. would it help to know that you are not alone? that i feel the same every single time i publish a blog post or upload photos to flickr. i went to a yoga class the other day and the teacher was speaking of those poses we avoid because they are too challenging. she said that is the precise reason why we need to step into those poses, breathe into them, shine light on them. so yes, your word is voice. step into it (seems you already have lovey , share it. i, for one, always love hearing what you have to say. you are so loved. also… put your big panties on? fucking hilarious. haha. xo
