It’s like jumping off the edge of a cliff.
Handing someone a few sheets of paper with all your hopes and dreams scribbled on, crazy letters and all.
Or writing that first article after one LONG mental health break.
Or even just send that text message (or DM, because let’s face it – maybe you’re just not at that level yet).
Sometimes it’s better to just say it – write it down, doing the.
This is the article where I ask you to keep telling your story. Write it down. Speak it out loud. Sit down at your computer, or with that Mexican restaurant napkin, or your cute notebook that you always carry with you, hoping that one day you’ll have the courage to screw it up with your lazy scribbling… and ruin the.
Write those words down. Send that text. Write it down so you can laugh about it in five years (or cry about it in three weeks). Who knows, maybe that next piece of thinking you did will become the opening story for your memoir? Maybe that crappy fanfiction you wrote as a junior in college will become the next bestseller.
Tell your story. It’s worth it.
