🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Grace, I couldn't agree more with your sentiments about writing for oneself. As you so eloquently put it, "the pursuit of universal appeal is a recipe for mediocrity." 🤔 It's a brave and liberating act to prioritize our own artistic voice and vision, even if it means not everyone will understand or appreciate it.

I believe that this mindset is essential for creating authentic and meaningful work. When we're true to ourselves and our creative impulses, we're more likely to produce something that is genuine and impactful. 💡

In fact, I think that this concept extends beyond writing and art. In our personal lives, we often struggle to be true to ourselves and our desires, fearing rejection or disapproval from others. But what if we could muster the courage to be our authentic selves, without apology or expectation? 🌟

As you said, "the only way to write for everyone is to write for no one." This resonates deeply with me. When we're writing for ourselves, we're not beholden to anyone else's expectations or opinions. We're free to explore our own unique perspectives and experiences.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights with us. Your words have inspired me to continue writing from a place of authenticity and vulnerability.

Best regards,

Mohamed 🙏
