I’ve always aspired to be a better version of myself, particularly in writing. Yet, I grappled with two major issues: "self-doubt" and the belief that my writing lacked "value". I feared it wouldn’t help me reach the heights I longed for, not because I lacked passion, but because I failed to recognize the worth of my talent.
Day after day, I idled away, watching my friends diligently develop their skills and flourish in their respective areas. They were becoming better versions of themselves, while I sat back, blessed with the gift of writing, but doing nothing to cultivate it.
As time passed, a significant gap began to form between me and my friends. It was a wake-up call; I realized I had limited myself. While everyone else was busy building their futures, I allowed self-doubt and low self-esteem to hold me back.
But it’s not too late. I spent years in denial, only to come to this crucial realization: "Never limit yourself". Everyone is blessed with a unique gift, and no one was created without a purpose. I was given the gift of writing for a reason, but I failed to harness that gift promptly, waking up to the stark truth that I had squandered precious years.
No gift should ever be underrated. The very talent you might dismiss as insignificant could change your life and the lives of others, taking you to places you never imagined.
Now, while my friends have reached impressive heights and are enjoying the fruits of their labor, I find myself starting from scratch. But this time, I am determined to embrace my writing journey and unlock the potential I’ve held within me all along
