I think there's something completely contradicting about being a creative and a private person.

I consider myself private, even my mom once pointed out that I was different from the rest of my siblings; they all agreed.

My head is either full of something or nothing at all.

Being a creative person in the modern world requires selling yourself, well, if you desire to grow an audience and form connections surrounding your art.

I grew up in a secluded place and was taught that the world will eat you up when you become vulnerable...weak.

And as a creative, being vulnerable is what sells you.

I prefer my things private. I like laughing out loud and talking and meeting people, sure. But having them know about me feels uncomfortable; scary even.

I disabled my social medias, deleted my pictures, and almost never post pictures about my day for almost more than a year now.

I deleted my TikTok too, it takes too much screen time.

Reading what I just wrote kind of confirms my thoughts about myself: I always thought I was a boring person LMAO

I do play instruments, a couple of them- but I'll talk about it some other time. In short, I really don't like it when people know anything about me.

But a few minutes ago I just finished watching a YouTube video about starting Twitch, where I find that being out there requires a lot of time, energy, and yourself.

A lot of yourself.

I want to share my art and writing, I do. I want to be the creatives I found on the internet one summer day and thought: hey, maybe this life thing isn't scary at all.

Wanna know what's funny?

I don't like sharing my thoughts, yet here I am, publishing another book but this time it centers me.

How conflicting.

As I mentioned in the description, this will also be about present and future books so I want to have a Q&A chapter here, even if there's only small amount of questions asked.

Ask away here on this line. Ask whatever you have in mind and I'm more than excited to answer everything.

I noticed how lively I was on my first book, the comments on my past author's notes always made me smile but I suppose the older I got the more stoic I became- I hope that won't be a bother.

Can't wait to talk more, see you soon?
