Nobody Reads My Work Like Me

Nobody reads my work like me. When I read my old posts, I always "get it". The words make sense. The thoughts are clear. The progression is natural. That's because they're in my tone. They're what's natural to me.

People sometimes react to my words exactly like I do. But that doesn't mean they experienced it the same as me.

Sometimes I will have forgotten so much about a particular work that it's like I'm reading a stranger's writing. But no stranger writes in exactly my tone.

No matter what, it is always a unique experience to read your own work. Have some faith that you aren't the only person who thinks it's good (even if they think so for different reasons than you).
