“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Today I opened my steemit blog page to check if there were any updates and then I accidentally clicked on post. For the first time ever I noticed that the empty space where you are supposed to write reads 'write your story'. I mean I knew that it says something about writing or write but I never really thought about it. It is so simple to say write your story then shouldn't it be as easy to actually write your story?
I meet a lot of people who tell me that they would love to write but they do not have the confidence or they do notknow what to say or how to say it. Basically they do not know how to express themselves but perhaps it is so because they are confining themselves to words. Who said that you needed words to write your story? Who said it has to be a straight forward text? The alternatives are countless. It can be a painting, it can be a doodle, it can be words written on a blank page, it can be an abstract, a photograph, a poem, a sonnet, lyrics, music or even food. Why even give it a name, it can be anything you want it to. It does say write your story after all.
Write about what touches your heart, write about something that you actually relate with or something that you believe in. There are only a few such platforms which accept and appreciate whatever it is that you wan to present, so why not embrace it.
