I’ve always had tremendous admiration for those so-called unusual
jobs. As a teenager, I wanted to be an astronaut, a nuclear scientist & an
actress. But there’s one profession that fascinates me the most; whenever I
find someone pursuing this profession, an overwhelming feeling of wonderment
takes over me. Actually, I’ve realized that all my favorite movie heroines pursue
the same profession. You know what this profession is…It’s the profession of
writing!!
My story with writing started about 12 years ago when I first tried
to write my first song. Actually, I wrote that song not for the sake of writing
but for the sake of singing. Earlier that day, my teacher auditioned me for the
school concert & I totally blew it so when I went home, I wrote a song on
my blackboard & I tried to sing it. The funny thing is, I’ve never written
songs nor sung in public since that day!! Then I turned out to be an assiduous
reader; I literally read anything that came into my hands, ANYTHING!! And the
more I read, the more I fell for those dazzlingly smart insightful creatures
called writers.
I grew up, joined college, survived my freshman year with all its
crazy complications & then moved to the toughest year in my whole life; my
sophomore year. As a sophomore, I had so many challenges; academically,
socially & personally. I needed to find a way to blow off my angry
thoughts, to express my confusion, to motivate myself & my peers. At this
moment, I grabbed my pencil & I simply let on my thoughts onto a piece of
paper.
A couple of months later, I found a friend with whom I shared the
passion for writing. Thanks to this friend, I started this blog the thing that
motivated me to write more & more.
Honestly speaking, I don’t if I’m a good writer or not; I’m not even
sure if I have the potential to be a good writer. But you know what, I’ll never
stop writing, at least for now, cause writing not only saved me when I hit the
rock bottom but aslo gave me the courage to say what I need to say & that’s
what really matters in life.
May you all say what you need to say!! =)
