I think you're doing a marvelous job already. The only thing we can do as writers is to continue to write. As you have said, you are born to be a scribe. Embrace that and walk forward with a smile. Stand tall and look people in the eyes and realize that you have a story that is unique to you and that other people who read your story will benefit and grow from your experiences. Be well, my friend.
Many thanks from a soul fighting to tear up over your kind words. I will rise :)
hugs! Yes, you will.
