Writing: My Newfound Love

I never thought I'll get into writing or blogging in particular. I used to think that writing is such an arduous task. Believe it or not, I used to tell myself and the people around me that I suck in writing. I used to tell myself that writing is hard, that it requires a lot of wit, and it's too bad because I don't have enough knowledge about stuff, that I'm more of a speaker than a writer, and so on and so forth. In fact, it was one of the reasons why I almost change my majorship (I'm majoring in English). I was indeed scared of writing.

But just recently, I had an epiphany that all the negative things/limitations that I put in my head are all wrong. I just found out that there's actually a writer inside of me, and that's the very reason why the page that you're reading right now exists. But I really never thought that I actually could write. If the past me could talk to the present me, I bet millions of dollars that she'll say, "I never thought you'll be that smart!" or "You do have a blog?!" or "How come you're speaking English?". When I was younger, I was passionate about other areas like dancing, acting, beauty and fashion, and even law and politics, but definitely not writing. I swear, it never once crossed my mind before. I'm not the typical writer who's been in love with the deed since childhood. I just discovered my passion in this field earlier this year, like a month ago.

Thank God I discovered the wonders of writing. I found out that writing is genuinely an effective tool to speak your mind, express yourself, and share your views and opinions. It brings out the creativity, authenticity, and transparency of a person. Writing has the power to inspire, influence, and educate other people. There's a sense of pride and capability that goes with it. Writing is truly a wonderful thing, and I'm loving every millisecond of it.

As an end note, I want you to instill in mind that you shouldn't set limitations on your capabilities. Because the things that you think you're not good at, may turn out to be your field of endeavor. You just have to discover it yourself. And once you discovered it, you must start to nourish, use, and enjoy it. :>
