Who cares, do what makes you happy. Capitalism has tricked us. You don't have to be good at something to do it. Not everything has to contribute economic value.

I was good at writing , I once wrote as a child a short story with black comedy that my dad who holds a PHD in the General Linguistics and a professor of the arabic language my native language at my country's third largest University didn't believe I wrote , and claimed I got it from the internet so I switched to engineering and now I can't write shit or even think properly

I tried writing. The process of writing fiction, of the characters coming alive in front of me and telling me the story they want to tell was fascinating. I didn't expect that. I'd come to section of dialog and I didn't need to write it, it was no effort at all because the characters were just talking to each other. Sure, I did the earlier work of defining them and creating backstory, but once that was in place, they took over. I'd make a mistake, and I knew it was a mistake because the character would tell me, "I wouldn't say that. That's not me."

Once, I finished about four pages of dialog between three characters, and when I opened the file again, it was gone. I was devastated, because I didn't think I could do it as well again. Fortunately, it wasn't gone, Libre Writer was just formatting the pages strangely.

It doesn't matter whether anyone else reads it or thinks it's good. The process of writing is fulfilling in itself, and well worth the time spent.
