I realised today that I am not a writer. Yes, I write. Yes, I can write well at times. But I am not a writer. A writer, to me, sounds like someone who is an expert; or enjoys it; or is well-practiced in the wielding of words. Words are their tools. They’re a wordsmith.

I cried during yoga the other day because a thought came into my head and overwhelmed me: Good things are allowed to happen to me… Why did this bring me to tears? Why did this resonate so much?
