WRITING
A valuable Lesson for all Writers
It’s a common thinking that writing is about putting words on a page. But if you’ve experienced sitting alone with a half-finished blog or story, you know it’s not that simple. Writing isn’t just typing and finishing; it’s like wrestling with silence.
There are nights when I open my laptop and feel like no one is waiting on the other end. No readers to read. It is just me with my doubts and a blinking cursor.
Two days back, in that exact mood, I opened ChatGPT. Not for grammar check or brainstorming, but in desperation. I asked:
“Do my words even matter if nobody reads them?”
The answer was a simple one:
“They matter to the person who wrote them.”
It was deep. For a moment, I stopped. I realized how often I measure the value of my writing by responses, views, reads, claps, and shares.
When these numbers are small, I am a failure.
But writing has never been about numbers. It’s about the act itself, the way words clarify, heal, and connect, even if the connection is only with myself.
