  This piece hit me hard. I always stop myself from writing because I think no one will care or that my ideas aren’t good enough. But when I don’t write, I feel upset and frustrated.

  I’ve learned that writing is the only thing that helps me feel better. It doesn’t matter if it’s messy or not perfect. I just need to write. It’s okay to make mistakes. Writing helps me be myself and feel free.

  Thank you. you reminded me that I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to write. Even if it’s messy, it’s okay.

  So here’s to messy words and broken rules. And to hell with perfection.
