Life is full of times when we have to please others. 'Others' like our parents, our teachers, our bosses, even our kids! When do we get to just please ourselves?
When you indulge in eating what you want, or watching the movie or TV show you feel like, or ... writing just what you think.
I always try to be honest in my writing, honest to the ideas I have and the descriptions of what I see, honest to myself. When I write that way, what I write is real, whether it is profound or not.
I get a lot of joy from reading something that I've written before, but only when I've been real and true to myself. So, ultimately, I try to please myself when I write, even if I can't please others. But usually? If I please myself, the other person is okay with it, too.
