We Share to Unburden
by Shamsul Bahari
Bismillah.
There are stories we tell to be known.
And there are stories we tell to be free.
To speak from the heart, with no mask or agenda, is one of the oldest forms of healing known to humankind. Storytelling, when sincere, is not entertainment — it is catharsis. It is a ritual act. It is offloading and uploading at once: the inner weight is released, and the wisdom is passed on.
Each time we share with meaningful intention — without seeking applause, without self-polishing — we step into the timeless current of our species' collective understanding. From the most humble campfire to the grandest stage, all real telling is the same: it is a moment of inner honesty made visible.
We share to unburden.
We speak to let go.
We write to clear space.
We draw to leave a mark and then move on.
The human being carries far too much. Old griefs. Unspoken truths. Generational echoes. We own too many stories — and some never get told. They fester in silence, weigh on the spirit. And that is why we must learn again the sacred act of sharing, not to impress, but to relieve the soul.
We tell not because we are important, but because we are mortal. We have only so much time to lay down what we’ve carried. And if done with heart, our sharing may also lighten someone else’s load along the way.
This, to me, is storytelling in its purest form:
An offering.
A letting go.
A reminder that we are never alone in the telling, nor in the needing to tell.
Let this be my story today. Let this be part of my enlightenment.
Wallahu alam.
