“We claim to know ourselves best, but that is often where we deceive ourselves the most.” This quote has been a guiding light on my writing journey. Until high school, I had never considered myself a writer, but as time unfolded, I discovered a passion I never knew I had.
My writing journey can be divided into three distinct phases. Initially, I wrote for myself, filling notebooks with my thoughts and dreams. It was a personal hobby, with no intention of sharing my words with the world. Thanks to the encouragement of my college friends, I began to see the potential in my writing.
I established my online presence on WordPress, Your Quote, and Goodreads. These platforms provided me with a space to share my work and learn from other writers. I discovered the importance of transforming raw thoughts into polished pieces and the power of connecting with readers through my words.
As my writing evolved, I realized it was more than words. It was about research, analysis, adaptation, and understanding the technical aspects of the craft. I discovered the potential of poetry and creative writing to resonate with people on a deeper level and leave a lasting impact.
Reflecting on these phases, I am inspired and amazed at how much I have learned. I am grateful to my friends and colleagues for their unwavering support and belief in me. Their encouragement has fueled my passion and helped me to discover my true potential.
