life story

Someone once told me that in order to write a good story you have to know what you write. It’s like telling a story. You need to catch the attention and the interest of your readers.

Frankly speaking, I was never into writing. I do get lots of ideas to write about from time to time, but I never find the way and the time to put it into writing. Every time I think of a good topic I get excited to write about it but there seem to be an unknown force that stops me from finishing it. Call it loss for words or laziness, it doesn’t really matter. I simply can’t finish whatever I have started.

When I was in college, I got deeply frustrated. I was upset with my studies, my life, my friends and myself. I secluded myself from others. My sister was the only person I talked to. I felt a big time loser then. I hated my self especially the people I call friends. I hated that I gave them my trust and my loyalty. I told myself that day that I would never again give my trust to anybody. I would only consider people merely as acquaintances never as close friends.

During that time, my only solace was writing. I kept a notebook full of my feelings and ideas. It became my friend. It became my companion. When I look through its pages today, I don’t remember my depression or frustration. I only remember the eager and happy hand that wrote it all. I remember the emotional girl who now enjoys writing.

It took a downfall and lots of pain for me to find my love for writing. It took me a lifetime to realize my true passion. Don’t let this happen to you. If you think you can write, if you love to write, build it up. Don’t waste your skill and your time. You never know, this may be the one to bring you the big bucks.
