I came to the realization that writing is my way of showing my heart’s pages to people who have never learned how to read.
There are moments in life when spoken words simply fall short — when even the most sincere intentions cannot bridge the distance between what you feel and what others can understand. Sometimes you speak from love, and they hear pride. You speak from pain, and they hear blame. You reach out with care, and they mistake it for control.
It’s in those quiet, misunderstood moments that writing becomes both refuge and revelation.
When I write, I don’t just use words — I use fragments of truth. I unfold the parts of myself that can’t always find their way into conversations. Writing becomes my way of saying, this is what I meant, this is what I feel, this is who I am — not to be validated, but to make peace with what’s within me.
Maybe that’s what every writer does, knowingly or not. We write for those who could not see us clearly — for those who only read our surface and never looked deeper. We write to give voice to what was silenced, and to offer meaning where there was only misunderstanding.
But I’ve learned that writing isn’t only for others to read. It’s for me to remember — that my heart still knows how to speak, even when the world doesn’t listen. Every word becomes a prayer, every story a mirror, every line a quiet form of healing.
And perhaps some people will still never understand the language of your heart — and that’s okay. You don’t write to be approved; you write to be authentic. You don’t write to be seen; you write to see yourself more clearly.
So keep writing. Keep turning the pages of your heart, even if some will never learn to read them. Because somewhere, someone searching for understanding will find your words and realize — they’ve been trying to say the same thing all along.
And in that quiet connection, hearts finally begin to read each other — without needing to be taught how.
Until next time,
