I used to think writing about myself was freedom, but I quickly learned that without an audience, the writer is nothing. Words, like actions, are only as good as the behaviors and thoughts they impact, and that only happens when people engage with the content. You can yell all you want in solitary confinement, but you're not going to start a movement that way. Writing that engages also serves the reader in some way. Now that I've put aside my pride, I'm more interesting and everyone is better off, including me. Funny how that works.
