I have never filled a notebook with my own ideas

Only with notes from classes

Theories, rules, how to’s and general academic ideas

My own ideas have never graced the pages.

It all stems from inadequacy.

My ideas feel cliche

But I realized that no one shares my point of view.

No one can see through my eyes.

I am the only one.

I have to put my ideas on the page.

It’s the only way to share my story.

Here’s a word of advice for young writers:
Write every day.

Get out of your own head.

You can write now and edit later

Read everything you can get your hands on.

Experience what’s out there.

Try new things.

Just broaden your horizons

Trust me.

It’s worth it
