When I just started to write my first articles online, it wasn’t my intention to start writing stuff I’d been through.

My main idea was to write on stuff I’ve learned, bring that in a way upgraded with my thoughts, and research to make my audience 'smarter.' Or at least to trigger their awareness. Matter of fact one of my first articles was about Circadian Rhythms.

But soon I found that it was inevitable to set my existence aside from my writing. The value is in the life you’re living. You can talk about a wide spectrum of topics. But in the end, readers appreciate that you can be vulnerable and leave clues on the table for them to transform or reshape their lives as well.

What you mentioned here is one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned as a writer which wasn’t my intention to begin with.

I don’t like to be the center of attention, never have been. But when it boils down to writing and becoming better at the craft, it’s inevitable to mention stuff about yourself.

You have to dare and be vulnerable, you have to dare to share a part of yourself. It’s not always easy to do it, but it could mean the world to someone else.

Great article!
