# Quoting Ashley Willis

Ashley Willis, "[Working Through the Fear of Being Seen](https://ashley.dev/posts/fear-of-being-seen/)"

> Maybe I don’t need to be prolific. Maybe I don’t need to impress anyone. Maybe I just need to show up. Write what’s on my mind. Share the small things. Even if they’re messy. Even if they’re quiet.
> 
> Because I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. I know I’m not the only one trying to find their way back to something they used to love. I know I’m not the only one wondering where their confidence went.
