How writing saved me from drowning in unuttered emotions (And the magic it did, later!)

By just allowing me to be ME, today!

I would never have been the person I am today without writing.

I had a traumatic childhood and there were innumerable emotions to handle as a kid (this is a story for another day).

I felt suffocated because I had no clue how to release those emotions, let alone knowing anything to manage them.

I remember vividly that during my childhood, I struggled to express my opinions, suggestions, or viewpoints.

Simply put, I was afraid to speak up — one of those kids, who knew the answers.

But was too meek to even raise her hand.

I was considerably underconfident and emotionally vulnerable as a child.

For a very long time, I kept questioning this feeling of ‘inferiority complex’ and tried to express myself.

I will be honest here; I was way too young to understand any part of it.

And in the yearn to get the answer — I started penning down my thoughts during my teenage, that’s exactly how it all began!

I am someone whose expression is words, and these words are both my Armor and Guard 💪
