It is nice to hear people tell you that they read what you write and what you post. It is very flattering. Not just because I am being acknowledged by some people but also because they think I make sense and that I have something to tell. Not many people have told me these but a few have and I am glad they have. These people have encouraged me to continue writing. Back in high school, I used to write for fun and my English and Filipino teachers told me to keep on doing so. I did. When I was in college and even after that, I continued to write poems and short stories which is why I ended up getting a short course in freelance writing. I had to study on my own and it wasn't easy. The exams I had to take, the papers I needed to write, the articles. Everything! I knew they wouldn't write themselves. After nearly two years of studying, I graduated. Although not with honors, I still finished it. I was very proud then. I was able to finish something that I started. After that, I took writing jobs last year. Although I have stopped recently because I gave birth and because Lilly died, I still continue to write for myself. Writing is my passion. I used to think that art was the only one but now, I know that I was born to be a writer too. Although I may not be doing this 100 percent professionally yet, I am hoping that one day I will be able to do that. In the future, I hope to write fiction novels. Perhaps even non-fiction ones as well. For now, I will write in my blog and in my facebook account. For each person has a story to tell. All we need to do is listen and in my case, read. For we should never judge a person right away unless we know his/her actual story...
Thank you to all those who believe in me and to all those who support me. I am glad my voice has an effect to others. I want to be an inspiration despite the pain that I am going through right now. I know I am not perfect but at least people can learn a thing or two from me. Thank you for this talent to reach out to people, Lord...
