To Write or Not to Write?

Everyone said I should write because I had a story to tell. But to write about it meant facing a truth I was too scared to confront, and to not write meant giving up on it. Ironically, the only thing that helped me in this dilemma was my words. Words came to me easily, almost like they wanted to narrate my story. And each one felt like peeling back folds I didn’t know existed, scraping parts of me I had never met before. Somehow, writing what I was scared to feel made the story worth telling.
With time, those same words evolved into how I write now. UX messaging, copy, or branding, it’s all stories waiting to be heard. Now, I need to know everything, and through research, I learn what people feel, need, and respond to. The words I once hesitated to write have become a way I translate human emotion into clarity. Words still come easily, but now I write the story behind them.
