A WRITER AND MORE

BEFORE I STARTED WRITING

I was just a regular girl who will just wake up, do my normal house chores, go through my social media page, check the latest update and what's happening in the world. I thought that was how life is, go to school, get a degree and focus on how to get a job. I have never thought that there was something like becoming a blogger. Infact, I never knew that blogging is actually an occupation where you get to be paid for your hard work.

Even if I was aware of blogging, I never had the mindset that I will start blogging too because I remembered while I was in high school, I had hated anything that has to do with writing especially when we're to write an essay or a composition. My problem then was how to start up the composition or essay, this made me to hate writing. I don't just want anything that will stress my brain.

WHEN I STARTED WRITING

When I was first introduced into blogging by my friend, the first thing I told her was that I'm not good at writing and I don't want to start up something I can't finish, she then smiled at me and she asked me why I hated writing. When I explained everything to her, she made me understand that once I set my mind to do something I can do it and she see me as someone who can write. After all the encouragement and everything, I still refused to join but few months later, I told myself that if my friend can do it that means I can also do it.

I had to summon courage and I started blogging. I won't say it was sweet at the beginning because it wasn't. Most of the challenges I faced at the beginning was getting what to write on and how to start up my writing if eventually I get a topic. This became my biggest challenge and I was almost giving up, at times it might even take me a whole day to come up with a post and after all my struggles I still don't get the encouragement I deserve from the website. That alone discouraged me and I stopped for sometime, when my friend noticed I didn't post for some days, she called to know why and I told her. She laughed at me saying nothing good comes easily and for me to get to where I want, I need to work for it and that was how I started my writing again.

I started engaging myself with people's posts and contest and with time I no longer bother if my post was being visited or not. It was more like I became more attached to write. Something that usually take me a whole day to come up with a post, I can now use few minutes depending on the length or few hours. Writing is now part of me to the extent that if I don't post a day, I feel like something is missing in me.

HOW IMPORTANT WRITING IS TO ME

Writing is so important to me because I find myself so attached to it that I can't do without. I know writing found me even when I thought I couldn't do it. I know there are still more hidden things I don't know about myself but I see myself as a writer and more.

Being a blogger has helped me to unlock somethings in me especially those things I never had the knowledge of. Just some days ago when I couldn't write because I was totally engaged with something, I wasn't comfortable with myself because I knew I haven't visited my site. Writing is now part of me and as such very important in my life that I can't do without even for a day, at least I have to visit my site and check what's happening.
