“ There’s something about being a writer that makes people open themselves up to you. You write about yourself, but if you do it correctly, you’re not just writing about yourself. You’re writing about everyone, and people see themselves in your words. They feel safe. They sense connection; connection that’s always there, between everyone, but too often obscured by the illusion of separation. They open themselves to you because they see themselves in you, and thus they open themselves to themselves. Good writers make people embrace themselves in the warm safety of connection with another human being.
