‘The paradox is that only in trying to articulate an answer will you end up discovering one.’ I like that very much. Hadn’t thought of it like that before.
"Having experiences and not sharing or documenting, or at least reflecting on them, is like inhaling with no exhale. In sharing, we exhale. Our exhale might be another’s inhale." Love this so much.
Why we write even when writing feels like a side quest away from the larger work at hand:
“'I don’t have the answer.' Wisdom says: You don’t need the answer, you just need to care enough to seek it out. Share your journey of discovery. Share what you have learned along the way. The paradox is that only in trying to articulate an answer will you end up discovering one."
Your perspective is valuable, full stop. Sharing it develops it, develops you, and allows us to develop our own with a smidge more wisdom than we would've gained on our own. The world just keeps getting wider.

Who cares? I do. Thanks for sharing this post. You wrote this for me ....and i'm sure a million others in the world.
My resistance looks a lot like yours. "I'm a writer who doesn't write," I always say to myself.
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Matt!
I love this and often struggle with the same doubts, thanks Matt 🥰
Wisdom is ... wise 😉. Thank you Matt.
Matt, you're a generous soul.
Love the voice of the Wisdom, so insightful!
