Thanks Moon, I enjoyed this, especially the part about liking yourself. It feels a bit wrong but you're correct, if we don't like our own stuff, how can we expect others to like it!
Exactly. We should be proud of our work, and like what we are doing. When we enjoy, that happiness flows through to others and that's when we have influence.
"Vulnerability is strength." 💫 I agree! It takes a lot of courage to embrace our imperfections and show it to others. We always want to look our best and hide those parts of ourselves that we're not proud of. But people don't need us to be perfect—they just need us to be ourselves 🤍 That's what I tell myself too when I get insecure as a beginner writer. I don't need to hide my imperfections. I'll make mistakes and my journey will be messy, and that's okay. I want others to feel that it's also okay for them to show their imperfect and vulnerable side ✨
As beginners, when we can embrace our vulnerabilities and even dare to showcase them, we are building a strong foundation to write well in the future. We start at a low starting point and slowly build things up.
Hey Arica, loved this post! I especially loved when you talked about the classic zero to hero stories! You’re right! Transformation shows that you’re willing to learn and grow which can be super valuable to readers! 💪💪
Hey Khadejah, it's great to share the transformation in this way. It captures our journey and also provides inspiration should we ever revisit our own posts in the future. It's valuable to ourselves too!
Awesome words from you Khadejah. I feel this deeply, especially since we are talking on the same topic but from different perspectives. That really helped with expanding my vision and increasing my knowledge.
I also have an idea about it Mubina. I want to help people, especially new writers with writing. Being a new writer myself, I've gone through some experiences which would be valuable.

Question yourself after every mistake; but never doubt what you are capable of doing.

I totally agree Arica! It really helps me seeing your perspective on things! That’s the beauty of collaboration! It makes both of us better! :)

Moon you should start a writing course.
