Simplified Meaning:

Deciding to start writing can feel very intense and scary, just like jumping into an ice-cold lake. When you first think about it, you might feel nervous and unsure. Imagine standing on a pier, looking at the cold water. You know it will be shocking and uncomfortable. In the same way, when you sit down to write, you might worry about if your writing will be good or if people will like it. Once you jump into the lake, the cold hits you, and it's tough at first. Similarly, starting to write can be hard and overwhelming. But as your body gets used to the freezing water, it becomes more bearable. Over time, you even start to enjoy the refreshing feeling. This is just like writing—it’s difficult when you begin, but as you keep going, you get better and start to enjoy the process. So, if you want to write, focus on taking that first leap. Don't let fear stop you. The more you write, the easier it will become, and you’ll be glad you started.
