If a story wants to get out, you can't stop it. Also note: It doesn't matter if you suck at writing now. First of all, you will get better with every word you write (but at the same time, this progress will seem so slow that you'll only notice when you take a text that is a year old).

Next, you don't have to publish. Writing in itself is fun and rewarding. There is no rule you have to become a famous/rich/whatever writer. Just write for yourself. Eventually, you may rethink your decision but again, no pressure.
