happy four year anniversary 

would you believe that four years ago, i decided to start my own blog?

i had no confidence in myself that i would hold on to this page for this long yet i did. although i haven’t posted any of my writings in a while, that doesn’t mean i haven’t been writing. i always have something to say. it’s bringing it out on this page that gets me nervous. but from now on. no rethinking it. whatever i have to say, i will say. and this will be my place to tell.

i shouldn’t have to think what other people are going to say about my writings and i shouldn’t have to consider the thoughts and opinions others will have over how i’m feeling.

these are my writings and they will never let them be anything else. why does it matter what i have to say? why do i need to consider everyone else before myself? why do i need to find validation in other people? why should i stop doing what i love because i’m afraid of how others will view me? why?

that’s not happening anymore. this is my page. i write what i want. and if they don’t like that, they don’t have to stay. simple as that.

i was writing whenever and wherever i found possible. i was writing in journals, on napkins, school notes, sticky notes, random papers. just to write what i was feeling in that moment. i had a large collection of them and i just wanted one platform for them all.

four years ago, i finally decided that i didn’t just want to write for myself. but i wanted to share my writings with the world. who knows who could come across it. i might not reach a large audience but that’s okay. i just hope the few that have stayed with me until now, will continue to follow me in the future.

stay tuned for more and as always stay safe and healthy.

 

a note to myself:

you’ve came a long way and it’s only gonna go up from here. it’s been a while but you’re gonna push through and get back on writing again. thank you for staying true to yourself and thank you for never giving up.
