I was working on a different post today, and I found myself wanting to apologize in it. I was talking about things that I was sure other people have talked abput before, writing a post I am sure other people have written variations of. And my impulse was to add a disclaimer, to apologize for describing my experience, simply because it was one that has been shared before.
But I stopped myself and asked what that would add to my little article. Yes, it's about a mundane experience. But the words are still mine, the thoughts are still mine. Why shouldn't I share them? And, reader, shouldn't you share yours? Don't worry about if your topic has been done before. It doesn't matter. Your experiencing it has not happened before. Your version is worth telling.
