When I am writing something, I am never doing it for validation, reassurance, or recognition. I am a writer sharing their [personal experience online which is a pretty vulnerable thing to do. Comments are usually far from validating and that’s all part of the process. I do hope that in sharing my experience, it resonates with people but because we all have different experiences, that may not always be the case. In this case of something that’s a personal narrative, I can only speak from my experience.

I’m open to listening and understanding how I can better share my experiences related to my identity.
