Thank you very much for reading 🙏🏾 I think in a way I am writing for recovering nice guys, but I hadn't wanted to address this about me before. From the response to this post it seems like I struck a nerve so I should do more of these.
I think you're doing that with the squirrel stories. You're blending two things that people normally wouldn't think of combining. And so e people might find it silly, but it has sparked creativity in you, so you have to let the opinions slide and focus on what's bringing this creative force from you.
Thank you very much for reading. It wasn't pleasant to share this, but ending this habit in me was one of the reasons they got me into writing personal growth.
I will share more of this as it seems like more need to heal from this.
What a great story, thank you for sharing! The terms “fail hard and fail fast” and “recovering nice guy” really resonated with me! 😄

Yes, you should! Definitely a relatable recovery creative people struggle with. 🖤
Thank you for the encouragement. I will dive further into this.
I’ve cycled through all three reasons at different points, but number 2 keeps showing up. I love the idea of blending interests to reignite obsession.
Writing + something else. That’s a great takeaway Jay!

I love writing those little stories.
I am equally happy it has an audience.
Happy Monday Jay…..
The cycle begins.
It's a cute little universe that could expand from there into children's books and animated adventures.
Happy Monday and a great week ahead!
Yes I was chatting with my brother AGAIN to get some illustrations done. He is quite the artist Jay.
Thank you so much.
It’s a short one and I love it.
That's so cool 😎 I look forward to seeing the pages as you put it together with your brother.
Thank you Jay
Goodnight..
As a recovering former nice guy myself, I appreciate your third point.

Powering through other people's opinions and keep pushing on is probably the hardest part of any success. But. We can do it.
I've been talking about something similar in Notes, but yours is helpful.
Thank you for reading. You should take your notes and combine them into a post or a series of posts:)
