Why I decided to start writing

I decided a while ago that I should start writing. Well, this moment has arrived…

On a summer trip with my family a couple of years ago, walking in a huge retail store, amazed by the product diversity and huge serving sizes of American stores, my eyes came across a little and cute yellow notebook. Being astonished by the endless possibilities that the blank pages offered, I saw my mind and thoughts getting lost in the mirrors of my imagination. I bought it and hid it from my family. Being my own little refuge, I started writing every thought I would have on this tiny paper mass. After a couple of months, this notebook turned out to be some sort of journal. Don’t get too excited, I barely used 50 pages of the notebook in the first 6 months. I would write about my high school drama, how and why I got hurt by certain people and most importantly about my feelings. It is just now that I realize the power of the words I got out of my spinning mind. Writing helped me externalize my thoughts, especially in emotionally difficult moments.

Today, I cannot find my “Mind Book” anymore. It probably got lost during the five move-outs I did during the past year. However, I would like to share my ideas, endeavours, the books I like and my passions again.

Welcome to this new chapter of my writing adventure. Hope you enjoy it!
