What if Shakespeare had a blog?
Your Voice Belongs Here, Too

Not a dusty parchment crinkled with age, but a glowing screen in the quiet of midnight.
Not ink-stained fingers and candlelight, but a warm laptop, a blinking cursor, and a head full of words longing to find a home.
No roaring crowd beneath a theater balcony but thousands of readers in silence, curled up in beds, on lunch breaks, between life’s storms… scrolling through his soul, one post at a time.
Would he write sonnets still?
Would he title his posts “Love, In Fourteen Lines” or “A Midsummer Thread”?
Would Hamlet be a blog series about indecision and overthinking, written for every heart that has ever been afraid to take the next step?
Would Juliet leave comments about freedom and longing?
Would Macbeth become a cautionary tale tagged ambition regret redemption?
It’s not hard to imagine him in today’s world
Because in truth, we’re still asking the same questions he once did:
What is love? What is loss? What is truth?
Why does the heart ache and how do we survive it?
📜 The Classics Were Human Too
It’s easy to forget: the great writers the ones we study, quote, revere were human first.
They felt too much.
They carried unspeakable things inside them.
They knew the pain of not being heard, the sting of rejection, the doubt that gnaws at every sentence.
What if they had platforms like Simily Co?
Virginia Woolf might’ve posted essays that feel like quiet oceans deep, vast, and brimming with emotion her thoughts drifting between the lines of a room of her own, now shared with thousands who understand.
Emily Dickinson might’ve found the courage to publish not after death, but during life posting her poems like messages in bottles, to be opened by strangers who would read and whisper, “She gets it.”
Oscar Wilde might’ve written his brilliant satire for the digital age clever blog posts, hilarious threads, cutting but kind holding up a mirror to society with wit, charm, and unapologetic truth.
And what if Anne Frank’s voice hadn’t been locked in a diary, hidden away behind walls of fear?
What if she had a platform not to shout into the void, but to be heard to know that somewhere out there, people were reading her words as she wrote them, sending back messages like lifelines:
“Your hope is contagious. Please keep writing.”
✨ A Digital Campfire, Not a Stage
Vocal media is not a stage where you perform.
It’s a fire you sit around.
It's a place where words are not judged by prestige, but by their pulse
by how deeply they touch,
how bravely they speak,
how honestly they remind us what it means to be human.
This isn’t just a platform. It’s a home for storytellers of every kind whether you're seasoned or just starting, published or private, loud or quietly burning with something to say.
And if the classics lived today, they wouldn’t tower over us like distant stars.
They’d be in the comments, replying with gentle encouragement:
"Your words matter."
"Don’t stop writing."
"I felt this too."
Because connection is not a new invention.
It’s just taken on new forms.
❤️ Your Voice Belongs Here, Too
So what about you?
You are the one who writes late into the night and deletes everything by morning.
You are the one who hasn't told anyone that you're a writer because you're still not sure you believe it yourself.
You are carrying fragments of memory, pain, love, laughter, grief trying to shape it all into something that makes sense.
What if your story is the one that makes someone feel a little less invisible?
What if your truth is the one they’ve been waiting to hear?
What if you’ve been searching for permission, and this right here is it?
You don’t need to write like Shakespeare.
You just need to write like you.
Because maybe one day, someone will read your words and say:
"This… this saved me."
"This made me feel something real."
"This is what I needed today."
And in that moment, your story will have done what all great stories do
Crossed time.
Crossed space.
Found a heart.
So go ahead.
Write.
Share.
Risk it.
Because maybe, just maybe, the next great classic… is already inside you.
