Why I Write

*****Once again, sorry for my long MIA on this blog. What can I say? I've been living. Life gets hectic, now and then.

Confidence is the most attractive thing I find in others. I said confidence, not cockiness. People from the outside view me as confident, and I believe in some aspects I am, but there are times when I really feel weak, like a failure, and shy.

I think especially at this time in my life - these teenage years - we often doubt ourselves. We need others to tell us our qualities and flaws from time to time. For me, I have trouble accepting that I have any qualities and often hide in the shadows of my flaws.

People always compliment me, encourage me, and tell me how great I am, and that's so super sweet of them, but I never believe them, because I don't see the beauty in myself. That is, except for my writing.

When I write, I don't need others to tell me it's good - I already know it. (And that's accepting my talents, not being cocky!!)

So, hopefully this answers any question one might have about why I write. I write for me. I write because no matter how many talents I may have, I know that writing is one. That's a confident acceptance, and that's why I believe my writing consistently improves, because you see my confidence shine through.... And confidence is the most attractive thing.

May God bless you all until next time!
