Your story is not too ordinary to matter. I asked the question on TikTok: "What gets in the way of your creative flow?"
Over 9,500 people saw the video, and in the comments, one answer kept surfacing: they didn't think anyone would be interested in what they wrote, because nothing dramatic had happened to them.
That's the lie many people carry: "no one cares what they have to say." Yet the opposite is often true. The most ordinary moments, the ones you assume are too small to mention, are often the ones that stay with readers longest. Not because they're extraordinary, but because they're true. And truth, it turns out, is rare enough to be worth writing down.
What ordinary moment from your life do you think no one would care about, but hasn't quite left you?
