How do you write what people actually want to read?
Keeping up with the trends is not my answer.
I just live my life, and whatever I learn, I write about it. May it be articles or poems. I do not write for people; I write for myself.
We do not live the same experiences, but we live with similar experiences.
It might not be a hundred percent the same, but even if it is one percent the same, we recognise similar patterns and get emotional watching pet videos.
