Back In Time

When I was about 9 I found out that I had a passion for writing. Writing was a way to express myself. At the time I had been suffering some pretty hard times.

One of being, I had lost my best friend. I loved her to the moon and back and I had basically been friends with her since birth. This was a super rough time in my life and all I had were my journals.

The thing with me is that I don't like and cannot share my emotions with people. I wouldn't even be able to tell this story because I am awful at explaining, but writing just comes naturally to me. Anyways, since I didn't share my heart-ache with anyone my journal and my pens were my go-to.

I wrote and wrote and wrote, it was basically all I did in my free time. I was pretty good at drawing too so I would start to write stories, then type them and then after I typed them I would illustrate them. All of this was really fun for me, it took my mind off of all that was going on in my life at that moment. I was able to just do my own thing, express myself in so many ways, without any stress or effort that didn't feel comfortable.

Writing got me through a lot. I don't know where I would be without writing. Before I started to write this entry I was kind of stressed out and I didn't really feel like writing a story since its 1:00 a.m. and I haven't gone to bed... but I just ease into writing and all the stress vanish.

I don't know how I would have coped if it wasn't for my writing. Writing helps me to appreciate life even more than I already do and it helps me to show my gifts and talents in another perspective other than school and sports, which I do love too. It brings out a creative side in me, that I cherish.

Anyways, this was just supposed to be a fun little entry about how your talents, when you find them, can help you through a lot if you use them in the right way.

So look for your talents, and when you find them, don't be hesitant to use them because that one thing you hide could be your medicine boost to success.
