Who is my Best Friend?

Writing

Yes, all thanks to the lockdown that allowed me to stay at home and upgrade myself. I read a lot, and also I love to write a lot.

Writing blogs was my hobby for the last few years but was a rare activity due to my busy work life. But life had another bit for me, as during the lockdown, my love for writing returned leading, I am up with blogging 30Hrs/per week.

However, why I choose to make writing a friend is due to some of the factors mentioned below.

  • Makes Me Feel Free — That’s what best friends are. To express our thoughts and release the burden, I start writing, and after a short span, I can notice a mental calmness.
  • Share Secrets — I can write all my secrets, and I will neither be judge by anyone nor any fear of disclosure of secrets to any third person.

Apart from the above, as you are reading this, my best friend ( writing) is also helping me earn a few dollars.

Conclusion

Keep writing, keep clicking pictures, keep making delicious food. In short, keep following your passion. The day when you make it your friend, there will be both mental calmness as well as in due course of time success will be your new best friend.

Your passion is sufficient to fuel you.
