Have you ever felt regret after publishing a book—especially a memoir?

Have you ever felt a pang of regret after publishing a book—especially a memoir? That moment when you think, “Maybe I shouldn’t have put my personal life out there for everyone to see.”

But then, as time passes, you realize that sharing your story was one of the bravest and most meaningful things you could have done. Because you held the pen. You wrote your truth. You faced your pain, shaped your own narrative, and became the master of your story.

Along the way, there will always be people who profit from our pain or pass judgment without ever really knowing us. But when you’re bold enough to write and publish your own memoir, you take that power back. No one can shame you for your scars—they’re part of your journey, and you told that story yourself.

I hope you like me, hold your own pen, and, if I might say, own your own pain while you write your own story.

Happy Reading always to you.
