Writing a book is a dream that many of us have had at some point in our lives. For me, the desire to write a book has been with me since I was a child. I’ve always wanted to share my story, not because I think I have the most incredible story to tell, but because I want to contribute to awareness and understanding. I believe that the world could use a little more of that.

Growing up, I felt like I was constantly battling labels and stereotypes. I didn’t fit the mold of what people expected of me, and that caused a lot of pain and confusion. But as I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that my story is not unique. Many people struggle with similar feelings of not fitting in and not being understood. And I believe that by sharing my story, I can help others to feel seen and heard.

For years, I’ve been carrying the idea of writing a book around with me, jotting down notes and ideas on scraps of paper. But I always hesitated to take the next step, to actually put my thoughts into words. I was afraid of exposing myself, of putting something so personal and intimate out into the world. And when I did talk to people about my book, I often received discouraging responses. “You’re not going to make any money from this,” they would say. “Why would anyone be interested in your story?”

But despite the lack of support, I never gave up on my dream of writing a book. And in 2018, my desire to write became stronger than ever. I started talking to more people about my book, but the lack of enthusiasm was still disheartening. I comforted myself with the thought that I was writing for myself, not for others. But as the years went by, I found myself getting caught up in the chaos of daily life and my book remained unfinished.

But now, in 2023, I feel that it’s my time to shine. I’ve realized that I don’t need validation from others to write my book. I don’t need to write in a way that pleases everyone, I just need to write what I want and what I need. And as I’ve started to rewrite my book, I’ve found that the words have started flowing easily. I’ve found relief in writing and it has reminded me that my passion for writing never truly went away, I just needed to believe in myself.

Writing a book is not just about becoming a best-seller or making money, it’s about having the courage to put your thoughts and emotions on paper, to be seen and heard, and to be understood. It’s about overcoming negative self-beliefs and taking a leap of faith.

For me, the process of writing a book has been both challenging and rewarding. It has allowed me to confront my own fears and insecurities, and to transform them into something powerful and meaningful. And I hope that my book will be able to do the same for others.

Please keep an eye on my website for updates on when my book will be released. I would be honored to have your support. Remember, never stop chasing your dreams, and always believe in yourself.

Yours,

Tati
