There’s something very honest in this. I don’t know if it’s neglect so much as pressure. The moment we introduce goals, especially visible ones like subscribers, the structure around us starts to reorganize how we write, often without us noticing it happening.
Returning to intention isn’t just a personal decision, it’s a way of resisting that pressure consciously. What you’re describing feels less like losing your direction and more like becoming aware of what tries to shape it. Which in many ways is far more difficult.
Now you named it,I should admit this is far more difficult. It’s no longer writing just for myself, but for my subscribers and the people I want to engage with. And I have to do it without losing my voice and purpose.
