If I write you, then who will write me?

TO MY DEAR READER

When you reject me and impose your wishes upon me, I feel pain. Do not reject me when I express myself. If I remain true to myself, I can challenge the status quo and discover novel ideas, you may like. Surely, you have often wished and sometimes attempted to challenge the status quo, but what has been the result?

Oh my dear reader, please do not be so harsh with me. I write words on paper; you read them, but these are not mere words—they are my heart and soul poured onto the page. Believe me, they reflect who I am. If I am given dictation on what to write, I will surely lose the very essence of what makes my work special—my unique voice and perspective. Accept me as I am.

Do you truly understand what writing means to me? It means I cherish my freedom to explore my own thoughts and feelings without constraints or expectations. Writing is my deep and personal journey. Every word carries immense meaning for me as it conveys my emotions. If I am free to follow my instincts and passions, my writing will shine with my genius.

You must be aware of history; there has always been a tendency to mold writers and their works into certain forms—cultural norms, political agendas, and more. But when writers are compelled to conform, they lose their creativity, their uniqueness, and certainly the diversity of their ideas. Great writing emerges from honesty and sincerity, not from trying to fit into someone else’s idea of what should be written.

Come, celebrate with me the freedom of writing. Imagine a world where every writer brings their own experiences, convictions, and perspectives to the surface. That’s the beauty of writing—inherently valuable. Believe me, when I am true to myself, my works reach deeply within you as well, because they are genuine.

When you reject me and impose your wishes upon me, I feel pain. Do not reject me when I express myself. If I remain true to myself, I can challenge the status quo and discover novel ideas, you may like. Surely, you have often wished and sometimes attempted to challenge the status quo, but what has been the result? You know, as do I. I am simply asking for the freedom to write as I please. If you continue to demand otherwise, you will find yourself similarly bound by chains of conditions. To liberate yourself, or at least to begin that process, you must first liberate me by changing your perspective on my writing.

Of course, your feedback is important. It helps me improve my writing. But do not let feedback stifle my creativity or force me into a box. I respect your individuality, and I expect the same for myself from you.

So, “If I write you, then who will write me?” — the same question applies to you. Feel it. I cannot write your personal journey of self-discovery and expression. Therefore, please connect with my journey through words.

I am vulnerable without expressing my thoughts and emotions. By expressing them, you can witness my strength, which may connect you to a broader understanding of the world around you. This strength forms the real bridge between us. By acknowledging it, you allow my writing to flow freely.

Rest assured that I will bring you unique stories from around the world, stories that will amaze you. There is a possibility that these stories may lead your thoughts to exceptional perspectives, enabling you to see different facets of life and encounter its diversity and beauty anew. I do not claim to enrich your understanding, but I speak of the potential that free writing can unlock. “If I Write you, Then Who Will Write Me?”
