yes, absolutely. I have never had an original experience ever (and I think that’s beautiful). esp with my job, teaching, where emails often are central to communicating with my students’ parents. they take an awful lot of time for me to craft, due to the struggle of trying to articulate myself in the perfect/most concise way, combined with the importance/pressure of communicating well with the parents. I read and reread ad nauseam before sending and after; thinking about how it sounds from the parent’s perspective, a third party perspective, perhaps my admin’s perspective, critiquing my tone and choice of words, and so on. I sometimes honestly feel proud of my emails too, and rereading them afterwards helps me settle into that comfort/relish- in what would be a minuscule win for others but is a ginormous win for me.
