Through writing, I feel power for maybe the first time in my life. I don't have to say somebody else's words. I can write my own. I can be myself for once. I like the privacy of it. Nobody's watching. Nobody's judging. Nobody's weighing in . . . Just me and the page. Writing is the opposite of performing to me. Performing feels inherently fake. Writing feels inherently real.
