I’m not a good writer, but I write anyways

I’m not a good writer but I write anyways.

My grammar is loose and sometimes (often) I? use — punctuation; wrong.

Sometimes my words are jumbled and the order wrong.

(I speak two languages so naturally I speak neither well)

I break rules as a small act of freedom. As if breaking the rules of communication is my bravest rebellion against the world.

We all start somewhere, right?

I write to share my stories because I am too afraid to share them in person.

In writing, you get to choose when to listen when to exit.

I am not embarrassed if you choose to click away this precise moment.

I write because I want to be heard.
