✨ "It Was My Dream to Write… Now I Write to Live"

I grew up in a place where writing was neither
seen as a career nor even a respectable hobby.
“Who makes money from words?” they asked… while I quietly searched for the answer.

I wrote in silence.
In old notebooks.
I hid my stories under my pillow.
I wrote about pain, dreams, love, fear, and poverty… with no one to read them.

But the desire to be read, to be heard, never left me.
Until one day, I discovered a platform called Steemit…
And I found people like me:
Writing from the heart, earning through their words, and being heard.

I decided to start…
Yes, I was afraid…
But I wrote anyway.

My words were hesitant… but honest.
I expected nothing… then came the first comment:

"Keep going… Your words are real."
And that was the beginning of a shift.

💡 What Did I Learn from My Journey?

Never underestimate your inner voice—it knows your path.

Don’t fear starting small… Every great writer began with a single word.

Don’t write only for money, write to feel alive.

Now…
I write, I post, I read, I learn, and yes—I earn.
I'm still at the beginning, but through writing, I found myself.

Have you had a similar moment?
Did you ever feel like you "grew up" the day you took responsibility for your dream?
Leave a comment—I’d love to read your story. 🩵
