I have a dream ;
To become someone. To become myself.

Perfectionism often masks a deeper fear-not just of disappointing others, but of failing myself.
And that fear lingers.

The moment the first chapter is published, hope takes flight. But with it come uncertainty and doubt.
They whisper in my mind, questioning everything.

Sharing my writing with the world is exposing my thoughts, my ideas, and my dreams.
It's a part of myself that I lay bare for the entire world to see, offering it up for judgment.
And judgment can be ruthless, shattering a soul into a million fragments-impossible to mend.

Yet, I know that confidence changes everything.
In the end, what truly matters is not the approval of others, but the pride I take in what I create.
We alone define our worth, our talent.
Views and votes may amplify a voice, but they do not determine its value.

I no longer want to exist in the shadows.
I want to step into the light and show just how brightly I can shine.
I want to be seen.
And never be invisible again.
