To My Fellow Vocal Writers

140.

That's how many subscribers I currently have, and that just blows me away.

I don't write anything to get likes, comments or subscribers so I'm very humbled that 140 people want to read my writing. I don't write to get top stories, and to me writing is like therapy for the heart, mind and soul.

Not so long ago, a fellow writer wrote that she had to wade through five pages of AI -generated writing to finally find my one non-AI piece of writing, so I would just like to say thank you to everyone for digging to find what I write, and then appreciating it. I try to capture feelings, so I am always learning new words, and I regularly look up their meanings so that I can use them in my writing.

I'm just me. I don't pretend to be anyone other than me. I put my real name on here because I'm just me.

I write to release. I write to inspire, and sometimes it's to inspire my own self... I am just your average Joe, complete with flaws and insecurities like everyone else. I think we're so used to people smiling and faking their happiness on social media that we really think that they are happier than the rest of us are, when in reality they may cry themselves to sleep every night. Don't worry folks, I identify with you in many ways in a perfectly imperfect way - no perfection happening over here. Just me, a constant overthinker who drinks probably too much coffee.

All that to say that I love you guys, I'm trying to read everybody's work and get better at leaving my feedback. Just keep writing from your heart and creating those beautiful connections through words.

The world is a better place because you're in it.

💚
