I am lucky I can write. As a child, stories crowded my head, fantastical tales, gripping dramas and horrors that kept me awake. Daily the stories multiply. I am the only one who knows them and I am compelled to write. Telling stories keeps them alive. Sharing stories is new for me and I the responses I get surprised me. I never realized a story was a gift to the reader.
What is the story inside you?

Writing is most definitely therapeutic. But it helps with my mental health. Even if it comes out in a mess. I can empty my thoughts onto paper.

I love stories, IDK why, but all human beings seem have the same interest as something connect us together, and makes us alive… writing stories is super fun, bur telling it to people in new style is a plus, please think of making podcast, to tell us your stories, it would be great if you planned to do it!
