Just Write

I have just come across Anne Thériault's blog, and found this article on writing. I wish I could I identify with more of what she says, and more often than not, I do not feel like a writer. Except of course, when years pass, and I find someone to be crazy about, and reel in unrequited love or affection or what have you. 
Anyway, here is a section of Thériault's essay that I want to share and keep: 

Write.
Just write.
In fact, I’ll even go so far as to say please write, because I promise you that there’s someone out there who’s dying to hear what you have to say, someone whose life might be changed by whatever sentiment you’re about to commit to paper or screen or cardboard-back-of-the-cereal-box. Write because you are the only person who has lived your particular life, and this has shaped your thoughts in such a way that you are the only one on this planet capable of expressing a thought in your own particular way.
Write because no other person who came before you or who will come after to you will ever, ever be able to do it in quite the same way that you can.
