Writing is a Feeling

Do I have a personality disorder, or is this a severe case of the Main Character Syndrome?

Do you ever think that Medium is an amateur sport intended for writers? Does each publication have editors browsing for new writers to get an edge in the Monthly Writing Draft before the opposing team picks them? It’s like you score points by working together to build a publication with a fun message that no other publication has yet. And if you win, then you get more followers, which equals more money to buy chocolate, which means you win at life.

But winning in sports is the same as winning without a sport. It’s a win.

It doesn’t matter which arena. It feels the same.

I know this feeling.

It’s the same feeling I get when I hit the F key, and an F appears on my screen. It’s a rush of realizing I’m not crazy. I remembered.

She had this experience that mirrored my experience.

Like you could ask our experiences to stand back-to-back and not know which experience was taller.

I noticed that we are the same age, so if people connect with her writing, they probably connect with mine. This is because we write similar content with similar voices.

Our voices are not similar enough to be mistaken for each other but similar enough like how two sisters look alike, but also different enough that it is easy to tell us apart. There is room for both sisters to sing without singing the same song.

I want to hear them both.

We didn’t have the same voice like we’re snarky in the same line of our stories snarky. Our voices aren’t the same pitch at the exact moment. Our voices are not an endless loop of the same Tik Tok.

Her voice is that warmth I feel right before realizing I am too close to the fire.

I come just close enough to want a burn.
