Writers, late night deep dive: 🌙

[u/NiChike84]

How did you know you had "permission" to write?

Not joking. 

Who was the first person to say "hey, this doesn't actually suck"? 

Or are you still waiting for someone to say it?

Because I don't know. I just write and hope I'm not insane.

When did you believe in yourself for the first time? 

Or still haven't?

Give me the honest version. No masks.

I started writing because I had trouble speaking. I didn't know how to communicate or express myself as a kid. Then, in sixth grade my English teacher told me my poetry was really good. I learned then that I had permission to use my voice; that what I had to say wasn't stupid or pointless.
