For three years, I have been writing blog posts and throwing them out. I’ve hit ‘publish’ on exactly two stories. I write, but I don’t share — because I’m scared.

I’m scared that no one will read what I write, and that anyone who reads it will think it’s bad.

I’m scared that what I want to write has already been written, and that I will have nothing new to add to the conversation.
