If You Want to Write, You Can

If you want to write, you can. Fear stops most people from writing, not lack of talent, whatever that is. Who am I? What right have I to speak? Who will listen to me if I do? You’re a human being, with a unique story to tell, and you have every right. If you speak with passion, many of us will listen. We need stories to live, all of us. We live by story. Yours enlarges the circle.

    So true, Dec. This irrational fear of rejection hinders so much potential. Grasp that nettle!

    Always good to hear uch thoughts, Dec...And yes, that question does arise , again and again, even in this harried world of ours..Who will listen to us?. But it is amazing how we connect...have connected...And I agree with this quote wholeheartedly. We do need stories..It's one important way to find meaning isn't it?
