How To Be More Vulnerable In Your Writing

I’ve written some extremely vulnerable pieces in my life.

I once wrote about how I cheated on my girlfriend when I was 21 (and how it was the worst decision I ever made).

That’s not a story I link to that often. I bet the majority of those reading this had no idea I was such a shitty human being.

Well, we’re all capable of horrible things I think — but that doesn’t exactly make my decision okay either.

I Hate Being Vulnerable As Much As Anybody

There’s things I don’t write about. There’s thoughts in my head that don’t make it to paper.

My most recent story was a more vulnerable one, but I’d had those thoughts for a while — why didn’t I write about it?

Well, because I hate being vulnerable as much as anybody else. Because I’m a brand. Because I’ve semi-graduated past being a writer to being a business.

Back in the day when I had 0 followers I didn’t have to care about what I wrote because nobody was reading anyway.
