Writing has always been this way for me to finally speak my mind. It's always been this way for me to exist in the way I want to without anyone judging me or telling me I can't do something. It's my way of finally getting to break through the barriers of fear and loneliness that hold me back and create something I enjoy and others might enjoy as well. Writing is who I am. And in a way, it always has been.
What I enjoy writing the most is fantasy and I think that is because in fantasy, anything is possible. Unlike the real world, which I have found to be unforgiving and filled with limitations. I don't want limits. I never have, but I've always had them, and writing these stories about magic and mythical creatures allows me to at least imagine worlds without those walls. And it allows me to be optimistic and gives me hope that maybe I have something to give the world after all. I can inspire people the same way writers have inspired me. I want to give people the inspiration to write whatever they want to without judgement just like I've always wanted to do.
Reading has always been my escape and my hope is that one day I'll write something that lets someone else escape. Just like I've been escaping my entire life. Or at least trying to.
