# Say something...

I can't count how many times I really had something to say to someone, in a meeting, but ruled it off. I'm always like "Someone will soon notice and point it out."

Then one day, "Why don't you ever say something, I have never heard your voice." The exact words someone said to me in a meeting.

After hearing someone say those words to me, I decided to learn how to write so I can share my thoughts. But, me being me, I prefer to pen my thought in my book for myself than publish it. Funny enough, I remember telling myself earlier this year, "Ngozi Onwuka, you will surely tell your story on a stage one day," words I keep remembering and forgetting.

Once again, today, I'm reminded by Susan Cain in one of her TED talks ("The Power of Introverts"). **"But introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guide very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. And that's okay. But occasionally, just occasionally, I hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry. So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly."**

This, is a cheer to my journey as a writer, to my fellow introverts who have great ideas but struggle to share them, I hope to see you around more often. I will leave you with a quote by someone, **"You can only get better at writing by writing"**
