I really enjoyed reading this. Proper writing! Not the AI generated garbage now classed as "writing". I think there can be pressure to ignore one's creativity and to conform to others expectations. I often note the expression some people show when I say "I'm creative" . It's like a word they don't want to hear. It doesn't "fit in" with the many things demanded of us. As one gets older it is even more important to do something about one's creativity and creative a positive mentality. Writing to help others is wonderful, stories resonate and you connect with total strangers, and it's also very fulfilling. Not many take the time to help others understand their motive for writing because everyone want to earn money for their writing but have lost the idea of what writing should be about.
