What do I do?

Why do I find myself gazing at this blank page? For months now—yes, a solid couple of months—I’ve struggled to write something, anything. I long to share meaningful stories or personal experiences from my life, but when I sit down to begin, I hesitate. I recognize that many of you might not know who I am, and even those who do may not grasp the weight of the stories I carry, filled with emotion and the lives of others. This realization often causes me to halt because I grapple with how to express the raw, honest truth for all to see.

If you're reading this, it’s clear that I’m at a crossroads, unsure of my next step. I have always cherished the art of storytelling. If even one of my stories has the power to touch or inspire someone, then I’ve achieved something profound. Yet I find myself questioning whether to continue writing when it means sharing someone else's narrative through my lens. My dream has always been to be a writer—not for accolades or bestsellers, but because it truly matters to me that my words resonate with someone, that they bring comfort, insight, or a sense of connection.
