When you polished everyone's words but silenced your own

For a career I've taken other people's rough pages and quietly made them sing, my fingerprints invisible on every polished line. All the while my own notebook sat in a drawer, the book I meant to write always waiting for a someday that kept not coming. Now I'm grieving the voice I kept setting aside for everyone else's, and wondering if it's too late to finally use it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You made other people's work shine for a career while your own writing gathered dust, and now you grieve the voice you kept setting aside.
