What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I would love it if my blog inspired other creative people (even if they’re not writers) who have their own challenges to keep creating their art.

I have mental illnesses. It’s a barrier to my writing.

I have chronic illnesses. It’s a barrier to my writing.

The biggest barrier to my writing, though, is my own self-doubt and my anxiety about my abilities as a writer.

I may have used my illnesses as a reason to doubt myself or my abilities, but the truth is that they are not the biggest barriers I’ve had to overcome.

As a writer and as a human, my biggest barrier is how negatively I perceive myself, my worth, my talent, and so many other things.

The world needs more creative thinkers, more dreamers, more idealistic. It needs more creative works that inspire others and help them believe in a better world.

As a byproduct, it may help those of us creating believe in ourselves and our abilities more, and create more. In doing so, we may change the world for someone.

That’s no small thing.

I hope you read about my journey, the experiences I’ve had, the challenges I’ve faced, my self-doubt and all my poor decisions, and see what I’ve managed to do despite all that…

…and maybe decide to try creating again yourself, or keep creating, or keep promoting your work.

You are needed. You are wanted. Your work has value. You have value. Your vision has value.

I hope you can see it.
