This post really touched me. It's true that sometimes writing feels like a huge workout for the mind. I've been in that position. I can relate to how mentally draining it can be sometimes.
Sometimes it feels like you're not creative enough to bring out those words from your brain. Yes, it's fulfilling in this way. I appreciate how you value honest conversation and those thoughtful comments. That is so special of you.
Thank you for sharing your reflection with such honesty.
How do you normally recover mentally? Perhaps you have a trick that will help.
