A Journey to Self Discovery and Sobriety with Matthew Quick
The One You Feed
Exploring the intersection of creativity, vulnerability, and intrinsic motivations
The chapter delves into the author's experience of sharing personal stories through nonfiction writing on Substack, contrasting the vulnerability of nonfiction with the safety of hiding behind fictional characters. They discuss the internal struggle of doubting the value of their work when it doesn't receive widespread recognition, and their therapist's advice on understanding the deeper purpose and meaning behind their creative expressions. The conversation touches on the challenge of balancing ego-driven desires for fame or recognition with the satisfaction of authentically connecting with even a small audience.
