What have you learned about yourself through your writing?

I think at this point, it is pretty well-established how/why writing can be a powerful therapeutic tool for so many. While letting our creativity run wild, sometimes we are also processing things or writing out pieces of ourselves into our stories, whether we mean to do so or not.

What have you, whether intentionally or by complete surprise, learned about yourself through your writing?

Edit: I just want to express how amazing I think all of you are. Thank you for being so vulnerable and real with your answers. A lot of us have challenges, big and small, that we are facing and I am definitely sending each of you a hug! ❤️
