} (Jimin was right) It's easy to pretend that I am impervious to the anxiety, the hankering after messages and comments -- just.. any form of interaction, really. I must remember to stop searching for external validation. Because it might feel nice for a while... but it doesn't last. In fact, it goes away pretty quickly. Much, much harder to sit in quiet contemplation, find my voice, and feel a quiet confidence in it. And I mean find my actual voice, not the one that I want to have, or the one that I think would be validated by others. All while knowing that it is just one view out of many. Being alone is hard, but being with people is also hard.
