Writing has always been a
hidden passion for me, I almost took up Journalism in college but because I know
my parents will not give their approval, I just selected another course. It has
been my salvation for the many painful and traumatic moments in my life.
Whenever I am in a happy relationship, I suffer from writer’s block and the
last time happened for almost ten years.
Writing started out as a
hobby, but later on became a habit especially when I am having troubling times,
I turn to writing as an outlet and as a refuge for all those pains and hurting.
When I joined two writing
sites online, one of which is writers’ café, I never expected to receive good
reviews and appreciation, I simply just want to vent my emotions through
writing. I have so many ideas stored at
the back of my brain that made it too difficult to write about, most of which
are sensitive topics to begin with.
Aside from creative
writing, I dwell on political writing, I send out anonymous letters to
government officials whom I admire and hate the most. Sometimes they can track
my email through the IP address but most times I do it through postal with no
return address.
Writing has turned from a
simple hobby to an advocacy. A silent voice wanting to be heard somehow and in
some way.
