Thank you for this. I think that perspective can arrives sometime ‘on the page,’ from trying and seeing how it sounds. Discovering I’m ready because the voice is suddenly there. I can identify it, mine it. I’m no longer just whining and small. It’s also to do with not caring anymore what anyone else thinks, being done with all that. What’s frustrating is wanting to sound that way and writing and writing and finding I can’t yet. I’m not ready. But it’s glorious when it happens. That’s the prize

I love what you say here Anna about truth - some truth, not The Truth. It feels very true for me.
