I Don’t Care If You Read This Or Not
In fact, don’t read this at all.
Traditionally, I like to keep my posts light, informative, and a little conversational. I’ve adapted rules as I’ve been on Medium, in attempts to make my writing better and to gain an audience. Using the word ‘you,’ use Grammarly.
In the end, none of these rules really matter.
Writing is a personal experience for me. I’ve tried to keep my personal, journal-like posts to a minimum. I don’t think people necessarily want to read about my inner journey and self-reflection.
I want to write something worth reading. So, I try and get inspired by other authors and look at what’s trending. I want to serve a community.
But I also want to serve myself. The best writing comes from personal experience and writing what you know, or so I’m told.
I don’t really know that I know a lot of things. What I do know is that I have to write.
It’s my inner monologue dying to get out. It’s how I process. It’s how I think, how I feel, how I love.
I don’t even care what I write about half the time, because the act of writing in itself is therapeutic to me.
My hope is that it resonates with the readers and it’s serving a larger purpose. I don’t know if it is.
I do know that writing courses through my blood the same way music does. It’s a part of who I am. Of all the things in the world, I know it’s Right for me.
Maybe not everyone else feels the same way about writing.
My mom is perplexed by it. She’s asked me what I write about and how I write so much.
It’s impossible to explain in words. That’s part of the beauty — that it’s so transcendent that it’s indescribable.
I could try forever, but all the words in the universe can never be strung together to convey feelings like this.
But I’ll keep trying. I’ll use every word in the book and more. So long as I keep writing. And I don’t care if someone else reads it.
It’s the dream to change the world with my words, but if I’m being honest? The real dream is that I get to write and share my thoughts.
