Advice

A poet I follow, Andrea Gibson, posted this advice she gave a class in a writing workshop

She said, “Write the one sentence you’re afraid to write”

And the class wrote down and shared their fears (and presumably went on to become great poets)

So I tried it at home and I wrote:

I don’t love anyone

And that was true. But the next sentence was more true and said in my head 

Because I couldn’t trust the paper to keep it a secret.
