Nick, I read this while actively noticing I've been holding my breath on and off for probably two hours now LOL. So thanks for that awareness I didn't ask for 😅
But seriously, I struggle so much with "write from embodied experience not about it". I tend to do the grocery list version ("my throat hurt" "my head ached") despite being a storyteller at hear.
I guess I'm just trying to mix the social media-style content with how you actually are supposed to write.
The breath thing: That's your body proving the point while you read about the point. Meta. (I catch myself holding my breath like this constantly. No wonder I'm always a stress case.)
Grocery list vs. embodied. One describes; the other transmits. You're not wrong to want both. Social media rewards speed, but speed kills texture. The trick is drafting embodied, then trimming for platform. Regather than the other way around.

Amazing piece! And hope you're feeling better :)
