I love what you've written. I recently went through a phase of self-doubt where I questioned the value of my writing. I wondered why anyone would want to read about my seemingly boring life. But like you've mentioned here, I'm realizing it's not about convincing anyone to appreciate my writing. It's about appreciating it myself and being willing to share to cultivate connection with others.

Thank you so much for reading my first Substack post! Oh yes, many people feel like they don't have anything valuable to share with the world, but even the seemingly ordinary life is so valuable to others. Many people are going through the same challenges as we are and if we share our point of view, it might help others in seeing the solutions they might have been searching for so long. So I like to encourage people to share who they are on a deeper level, their life challenges, values and desires - you can connect and help with just by stepping into your true identity.
