The Writing We Were Born to Do: Remembering Our Purpose Through Story

How Our Words Become Portals to Meaning and Connection

There was a time before the forgetting.

Before we became who we are now, we stood in a place of vast knowing, surrounded by those who would journey with us, some as allies, some as challenges, all as reflections of our unfolding. We made an agreement, a sacred contract with ourselves: I will come here. I will forget. I will rediscover.

And now, here we are, navigating the in-between. The part where we wonder if we are truly doing what we came here to do. The part where we second-guess our voice, our art, our impact.

But let me remind you of something you already know: you are not just writing stories. You are not just putting words into the world.

You are illuminating something unseen, something sacred. The quiet truths that hum beneath the surface of existence, the ones we all recognize when we see them but can never quite name. Your words are a bridge between what we feel and what we dare to believe.

What if your writing is a portal?

Every time you write, you carve out a passageway for others to find their way home to themselves. You offer a mirror, a flicker of light, a moment of recognition in a world that can feel disconnected.

Yet, the doubts still whisper.

“Is my work enough?”

“Does my voice truly matter?”

“What if I have nothing meaningful to say?”

Here’s the truth: Your words matter because they are yours.

You don’t have to write to persuade. You don’t have to write to prove. You don’t even have to write to be understood.

You only have to write from the place within you that knows. The place that feels the pull of something deeper, something that wants to be spoken into existence.

You chose this path before you got here.

Before stepping into this life, you surrounded yourself with a team. A constellation of souls who conspired in love to remind you of who you are. Some would challenge you, some would guide you, some would walk alongside you without saying a word. Their presence is no accident. They are part of the design you created for yourself.

They are here now, in the stories that nudge at you in quiet moments. In the synchronicities that whisper, yes, this is the way.

Writing is not just an act of creation. It is an act of remembrance.

When you write, you align with the version of yourself who already knows the way forward. You become the embodiment of the path you are meant to walk.

So today, I invite you to write from that knowing.

Not for an audience. Not for validation. Not for success.

But because this is why you are here.

Because writing is the language your soul speaks when it remembers itself.

And when the forgetting comes again, when the doubts creep in, when the path feels uncertain, return to your words. Let them remind you that you were always meant to be here.
