Hi Mazlan,

First, thank you for reaching out and sharing your heartfelt concerns. Your question pretty much captures the essence of my message, so thank you. 🙏

Let me assure you, eloquence in language is a tool, but authenticity in emotion is a force. Your unique voice, your personal stories, your raw emotions—these are the things that make your writing truly powerful and resonant.

I'm trying as best I can to think a lot about your question and answer in the best way possible. I've given your question a lot of thought and hope these ideas below might help you share your story. ❤️

First, don't compare your writing style with that of others. Your experiences, your perspective, and your emotions are unique. Embrace that uniqueness. It's what will make your writing stand out and touch the hearts of your readers.

Second, simple words = deep emotions: You don't need a complex vocabulary to convey deep emotions. Sometimes, the simplest words can have the most profound impact. Think of your favorite songs or poems; it's often the straightforward lyrics that stick with us.

Next, write from the experience you currently have. Real, authentic stories come from personal experiences. Write about what you know, what you've lived, and what you've felt. It's these real stories that readers connect with. They'll sense your wisdom in the truth you've lived.

Then, remember to practice, practice, practice. The more you write, the better you'll get at it. You'll only experience that growth as you lean in and begin. Write a little every day, even if it's just a journal entry or a short note. Over time, you'll find your voice and your style.

Seek feedback from people. Share your writing with trusted friends or writing publications here on Medium. Share with me if you want. Constructive feedback can help you refine your work and give you insights into how your stories impact others.

Keep reading. When I learned how to speak Portuguese, I read constantly in the language. Reading can expose you to different writing styles and help you discover what resonates with you. It's also a great way to learn and internalize the nuances of the language.

Technology is your friend. Don't be afraid to use tools like dictionaries, grammar checkers or thesauruses. Even tools like Grammarly help. They can help you polish your work. But remember, they should complement, not replace, your authentic voice.

Be vulnerable. As mentioned in the article, it's when we're vulnerable and genuine in our writing that we truly connect with readers. It's okay to feel exposed or uncertain; that's where the raw, powerful emotions come from.

Remember, Mazlan, the goal isn't to sound like someone else or to impress with fancy words. I'd love to hear the raw and true you. The goal is to communicate and connect. If your writing touches just one person, makes them feel less alone, or inspires them in some way, then you've succeeded. Trust in your voice, in your emotions, and in your wisdom. Your story is someone's lifeline, and the world needs to hear it.

I hope this helps! Looking forward to what you write!

Warm regards and happy writing.
