the pressure to be seen. (opens the original)

There’s a strange duality in sharing content onlineand trying to grow my audience.I genuinely want to create.I want to grow.I want more people to find my work, connect with it, save it, share it, and stay.But wanting growth can quietly turn every post into a test.Did it get enough views?Was the hook strong enough?Should I have done something different?Am I actually good at this or am I just trying too hard?Sometimes I want to take a break, but another part of me is afraid that slowing downmeans

Read excerpt
