The speaker initially struggled with the idea of being original in writing, feeling overwhelmed by the vast knowledge already available. However, after giving themselves the freedom to explore topics without pressure to be completely unique, they found liberation in following their curiosity.

This shift in mindset enabled the speaker to find their own voice and direction in writing.
