I've heard creative types are rarely happy with their own work. Of course, you're not obligated to do anything, but imagine if John Clare felt that way and never published a single item.

It's a matter of what you're willing to share to connect to another human being and have them connect to you.
Again, it's just a point to consider. The decision lies with you and you should do as you wish.

Something else. A nerve hit, maybe. Something to note.]
This was quite the heavy topic. Why don't we call it a day?
