The Struggle to Articulate Original Thoughts

Many individuals desire to be original thinkers but often find it challenging to articulate their ideas clearly. At a young age, the speaker felt overwhelmed by the eloquence of influential figures and struggled to express his own thoughts, leading to negative self-perception and frustration during writing attempts. Without a structured approach to organizing his ideas, writing became a daunting task filled with uncertainty. Recognizing this struggle is crucial, as many may share the same sentiment of wanting to convey their unique thoughts but lacking the tools to do so.
