There’s Something About Writing
There’s something about writing that makes life seem more dramatic and glamorous. Whenever I write, I feel like I’m telling the world a part of who I am and how I view whatever it is I’m writing about. I, most especially, like journalistic writing. It’s like I’m Mia Thermopolis or Lizzie McGuirre keeping a diary...
Writing plays as a challenge and a relief to me at the same time. It’s a challenge because it requires my verbal ability in written form and it’s a relief because I get to vent out whatever it is that I’m feeling at the moment. I feel blessed that I have the knack for it. I’ve been writing my whole life because it’s required at school but it was not until I entered high school that I found out that I love doing it.
During that time, I had many writing roles. I became a part of the campus editorial staff and then I also have writing responsibilities with the student council and my academic life. I’ve been part of both for all of my high school life and by then, I haven’t yet realized that writing would play a huge role in my actual life.
When I fell in love (well, puppy love), I learned how to write poems and songs and journal entries. I started keeping a diary. My grandmother was my biggest fan. She would read my poems and other pieces and tell me that she is sure that a lot of boys like me, they’re just indimidated because I’m smart. Although that never really got to me, I still cherish the fact that my grandmother will always be my biggest fan. I love her so much to bits and pieces.
Recently, I wrote an article for my mom’s workplace and it got published on the city’s broadsheet but I am kind of disappointed because the Communications Department of my mom’s workplace did a lot of editing to it and the credit was given to someone else. The article was about the Twelve Days of Christmas. The event was meant to celebrate the twelve days before and until Christmas by dressing up according to a theme and getting prizes for being the best one. There were also raffle draws for the staff. I had fun writing it, though I did it for just about five minutes. I guess that’s how I do things that I really love - very quickly but well-lived.
I wonder if I’ll ever be able to get a writing job someday. I hope I will. I’m not sure if I would still be able to pursue a degree in Communication Studies but I hope that someday, my words will find their place in the world. I hope someday, the world will hear my voice and that I’ll be able to make a difference in it. And I can only dream.
