“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
MAYA ANGELOU

To blog or not to blog – that is the question. 

I have always loved writing. It was my form of therapy. Stories kept popping into my head since I was young. I wrote several stories until my young adult days, and when I read some of them now, they make me cringe. Haha.

If you liked the articles, please like and comment (you can still comment even if you didn’t like them—there’s always room for improvement). You can also share them on your social media accounts. Thank you.
