honest opinion
Yes, a very soulful and therapeutic piece. But if you wish it to be published, what target audience are you trying to reach? Of course, it is an insightful and highly self-aware piece of writing, yet, why is it relevant to any specific readership. If you're going to pitch it to a publisher, perhaps a bit more framing is necessary. At any rate, I enjoyed reading your work and I believe that your comments about fictionalizing our experiences as a way of removing them a few paces from ourselves is right-on. Good Writing

It has been said....
that people are not what they do, they do what they are.
Perhaps the simple truth, then, is that you write because a writer is what you are?
