Why I write

Greetings :)

"Love is easy and I love writing.  You can't resist love.  You get an idea, someone says something and you're in love" - Ray Bradbury

Have you ever had mixed feelings, a bad day or even a surprising fantastic awesome event happening? Well what do you do about it, to make that memories last? To me, I write. I'm not really good in telling stories, so I express my feelings by writing. I don't know, writing just give me the feel of being happy and free sometimes.

I first started to write when I was 7 years old.  That's when my parents bought me a small yellow book with floral patterns on it.  They told me to write a story once a day.  Imagine being 7 and you have to write everyday.  I was confused and felt like it was a boring idea.  But I don't want to disappoint them, so I write even my stories are lame and doesn't make any sense.  Hey don't judge! I was only 7 okay :P Here's one of my favorite;

Saya kucing.  Saya tidur dekat bakul.  Best orang bela.  Saya suka makan ikan dan nasi dan saya suka minum susu.  Sedap.  Ramai orang pegang bulu saya.  Akhirnya saya dah meninggal.  Sebenarnya saya ni hantu.

Err.. yeah and I got 2 stars from my dad.  Anyway that's not the point.  To me writing can be in any sort of forms.  It can be in a poem, a story or even just a sentence or two.  Writing gives me a some form of satisfaction.  Especially when I'm angry or frustrated at something and I can't do anything to help or to solve.  So I write.  Plus, all my writings and stories are my memories.  They are my history, my past that sometimes I've forgotten.  Another thing about writing, it reflects you or shows you that you were either right or wrong once upon a time ago.  I don't know if you get what I'm trying to explain but in short, writing gives me the freedom to be me.  

That's why I've been holding on to this blog for 5 years.  There are times when I think I should just delete this thing, no one ever reads it.  But that's not what matters.  What matters is that I can write and share and most important thing is, I can be me.  What I meant 'I can be me' is that I can at least express my thoughts here.  Yeah of course I don't post my personal stuff here.  Hehe I've got that hidden in a secret place.  

The conclusion is, I'm gonna continue my writing and no one can stop me from doing it.  Plus one day when I'm famous, this bloggy thingy will come in handy.  Trust me, whenever the press keeps on bugging me to tell my past, the story how I grew up.  Easy, I'll just tell them to read my blog! Haha okay now I'm imagining stuff that is not going to happen.  

This is my all time favorite;

"Love is when you know that person's flaw but you still accept them who they are and care them with all your heart because no one is perfect.  Even you yourself are not perfect.  So stop judging people around and love more" 

I can't remember when I wrote this but wow I didn't expect myself to write like this.  To the past me, bravo girl, bravo!
