In any uncertain situation, I write in an unfiltered way:

— how I already feel about the matter;

— exactly the thought that popped into mind while the cursor was blinking;

— why I suddenly paused to think during writing;

— how I would say it to a friend;

— every doubt, emotion or personal opinion;

— and so on.

shameful stories often make the most interesting art

The strongest writing isn’t born from striving to flawlessly record something the “right” way, but from readiness to expose your real attitude and feelings towards the subject with all their flaws and contradictions. Honesty with readers begins with honesty with yourself.
