I have always been afraid of writing.

I have always been afraid of writing.

Actually, it is not really about writing, but most about being read by other people. Some kind of shame I feel inside.

First of all, I can't say that I have a pure 'literary soul'. I studied mathematics at school then got a degree in financial engineering, but besides that I always felt like something was missing, that it was not my real vocation. Then why not start writing ?

I really like to write stuff. It could be fiction, articles, anything. But what would be the point to write something down if it's never read, right ?

This is where my problem lies : I hate being read.

I guess we all knew this feeling one day, this kind of discomfort when you don't know if what you just did is fine enough to be shared with other people. They could dislike, laugh about it, make fun of you etc. You never know.


But what if they like what you do ? This could be the most satisfying feeling ever. Is it worth risking failure to have gratitude ?

This is for me one of the most difficult questions to answer.


But you know what ? Fuck this shit. I'll do it anyway. I decided to give it a try, here, on Steemit. I've been looking at the way the website was working, at your community, and I must confess that I do really like how everything works here. A lot of nice people are out there, almost no trolls, respectful people.

I will post here my first public writings. Don't expect to get wonderful topics or really well-written articles, I'm still doing this for entertainment, not for earning a lot of money. I just say to myself that if only a couple of people like my work, then it's perfect. There is nothing that I would like most. My goal is not to reach thousands of people, but some true ones.


If you think I should continue this way, don't hesitate to comment, or even to resteem or upvote.
